Fairings Restoration.
 

Hi folks, Since my off back in April, I'm now have the funds to get the fairings painted to get the bike looking her best and I'm looking for a place to get them resprayed preferable south of the river.

Anyone got any numbers I can call / visit to get a quote.

Thanks in advance, Steve.

Hallo.

I used G&M Bodyshop in Lambeth (0207 7356225) . They did a very good job finish wise, but the colour match wasn't perfect. However, they did say before they painted it that they would be unable to match the colour as they haven't got the paint mixes for the bikes, but as mine was for a panel that was not really seen, it wasn't that much of a problem for me. If you were supplying the paint however, it wouldn't be a problem.

Cheers Spidey, and Dafne for your post.

Will give them a call/visit and see if they're quote me happy :D

If supplying the paint is an option, could I get this mixed up at any paint shop, or would I need to order it from an online retailer specific to Suzuki paint?

You should be able to get paint from any proper auto paint suppliers (proper people, like Brown Brothers, not Halfrauds) who will mix the quantities that you want). It'll be better to take a panel in as well, in case there are a few paints covered by the same paint code. I don't know of any in London, as i've not been here long. Have a look in the yellow pages for someone, as there should be a few about

Cheers folks...will bookmark that link, and pay G&M a visit.

Managed to get a quote from G&M now which is all good, but if I supplied the paint does anyone know exactly how much paint would be needed?, so I could get an exact colour match of Sonic Silver.

i'd suggest asking thr place you buy the paint from mate as differnet aints will give differnt coverage i would suspect.
Or ask one of the mini twins racers, they must need to paint fairings from time to time.

It took a litre and a half for my bike..no hang on, a litre of blue, and half a litre of orange.
