cant find a pic at the moment, ill take a picture tomorrow if i get some time.

Try Hammerite smooth you'll need the hammerite primer as well it goes on nice and thick takes a while to harden but it doesn't chip or flake!! I used it on my CB1 and it stood up to 2 winters with no probs!!

A lot of people recommend the Halfords engine paint, it's apparently very resistant to dents/bumps.

Thanks for all suggestions.

I'm definitely going for black now but would like Glossy black. With that in mind are there any suggested so far that is a definite 'no' ?
