i decided to give my beloved Multistrada 1200 S (2012) a respray in Ducati yellow. Rather than respray my body panels I've been collecting replacement bits and pieces. That's now complete and I'm ready to go to a paint shop. So two questions: 1. Can anyone recommend a good paint shop in the North West of England? 2. The cost of sourcing the standard decals from Ducati is prohibitive (the Multistrada 1200S decal on the side panels are over £11 each plus VAT!!) So can anyone recommend a print shop that can provide good quality replica decals? Nothing fancy just standard decals will do. Cheers everyone
SMB in bolton does lambos ferarri porsche that kind of stuff ask for wez, or complete auto solutions in horwich ask for Will.
In my experience after market resprays no matter how nice or how much you pay are pretty soft so chip easily. Having said that my standard factory finish is also chipping really badly so have been investigating 3M protection. So have you thought about getting it colour wrapped? I saw a couple of new Panigale's at Ducati Nottingham that looked amazing, and if it damages you can just get that area re-wrapped.
You could do a lot worse than Mick at Paint My Ride http://paintmyride-uk.co.uk/ He's based in Darlington, but is a top painter and also runs courses I you fancy learning. I've done a full course and it was worth every penny. The quality of his work is beyond reproach and is covered by a lifetime warranty for defects in materials or workmanship.
For decals, try Ted & Graham at the image works, brilliant work. http://www.bike-stickers.com/homepage.htm
Sry to resurrect an old thread but i'm looking at getting the tank and rear seat cowl done on my monster and i'm also in the north west. @Majvs Where did you end up going in the end, what did you get done and how much did you pay? If you don't mind me asking.
Had it done at Bolton Bodywork Centre in Bolton but it might have been renamed as S.M.B Northwest Ltd The number I have for them is 01204 384002 but the advertised number is different. The chap to speak to is Glenn.
Nothing fancy.. Standard Ducati yellow with original decals modified slightly to suit new colour. Sourced all bodywork from e bay in various states of repair..
