    Painted mine in the backyard with a HF gun and pancake compressor, I know it can't be done that way. :)

  5. You can also get bodywork through Swenson. He sometimes has gas tanks too.

    Right now he is painting the bodywork for the 675R, plus a spare set for the Panigale, and also a spare gas tank for the Panigale and the R6.

    :bow::Putter: Love that bike and paint!


    If you're in the NJ/NY/Pa areas I second DC Paintworx, have seen a ton of their work and it is quality work too!


    Out of curiosity, how much are you guys paying each way on shipping these days? A few yrs back, I think it was about $50 each way, that still about right?

    Ive gotten paint from different but all seem to not hold up to rock chips. Do the higher or better quality paint last longer?
     
  11. Yes.

    The first set of bodywork Swenson painted for my R6 still looked kickass 3 years later. I just replaced it because I had to change some of the decals and wanted the bodywork to be new.

    A good paint and clearcoat job makes all the difference.

    Did my own with a rattle can. England Flag motif for the Triumph with homage paid to England Rugby.

    OMG! You color matched the shock spring to fit into the white stripe in the paint:beer:. Broome's piece of crap bike has a yellow spring that clashes with the rest of the bike.
