So, this thread comes in 2 parts.

Firstly, I'm looking at repainting my Curvy SV650S as it is currently looking very scrappy and to be honest I hate the colour! Anybody got any suggestions for a new colour or pics of repainted Curvy SVs so I can have a look? I'm swaying towards getting it done in white but I'm not sure yet.

Secondly, anybody know of any places in or around Bristol that are good to use and charge a reasonable price? Or any members in the area who have experience of painting bikes who might be interested in taking on the job, paid of course.

Thanks.

just in the prosess of painting my 2000 s from white to black will post pics when ive got them , tips make sure you have a top quality mask most important, rub down old paintwork till as smooth as you can get it preperation is the key to a good finish, only paint when the air temp is good around 20degrees is good use a good base paint that is compatible with the type of paint your going to use and dont rush , Glen

Wideboy did his white, as did some others, but its all a matter of taste.

TAMSV's is my favorite color SV, apart from my silver one of course
