After a good Painter

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by Pablo Pirate, Mar 13, 2012.

  1. Howdo!!!

    Can anyone recommend a decent painter? I'm based in the SouthWest but do travel upto the midlands area. Also what sort of price should I be looking at?? The paint work is for whole bike and as per standard Ducati bar I'm after some of the carbon showing through. No damaged body work and only the seat unit has old paint on it (In good condition though).

    Cheers Pablo
     
  2. You could try this place in Willenhall between Walsall and Wolverhampton.

    He's not cheap and don't expect fast turnaround but the work he does is exemplary. He repaired and repainted my 748 fairing when i fell off and it's better than new now. Give him a call.

  3. If the Midlands area takes you near Silverstone it would be worth talking to Geoff Baines @ Baines Racing. He has a geezer he uses for paint jobs whose work is exemplary (I had the fairings done on the SS after a drop) - faultless.
     
  4. try illusion race paint near silverstone, i had work done with them and was a decent finish and good price too.
     
  5. Try Rolf Haris, he's not bad either ;-)
     
  6. This is illusion race paint in case you didn't already know
     
  7. I didn't - thanks. Useful knowledge as I can recommend him/them directly in future.
     

  8. Sorry for not introducing myself in the newbie section first,But having just seen this i thought i'd reply as i've recently had work done by Mick from the above link.
    Nice bloke to deal with and puts a lot of care and attention into his work as you can see from the after pics.

    Cheers Pablo

  10. Hi Pablo

    £340 for the whole lot plus addition of the carbon seat from red to yellow and £80 to sort the carbon exhaust shroud out.
    I was fine mate thanks.How bad are your panels!!!

  11. Hi Mono

    The panels are not damaged, all good (Waiting on a set of new LHS & RHS panels to turn up - unpainted) The bike is yellow :cool: it needs all the decals as well. I hope to have some of the carbon showing through the decals if possible. £340 was a bargain for a good job, prices I had seen are nearly four figures.


    Cheers Pablo
     
  12. Altamura was a favourite of ducatisti or motopaint (brierly hill I think) if you want more local.
     
  13. But can you see what it is yet?
