Default Bike Painting

Does anyone off here do spraying? I don't need anything show-winning, but just a decent finish.

I would do it myself but tbh I suck.

Cheers.

based in Hampshire, can do prepwork and drop/collect panels.

Practice until you get good, you'll save yourself a fortune from then on! It isn't too hard to get a decent finish if you know the basics of what your doing and you allow yourself a fair few practice runs (You can keep sanding back the panel after each attempt). The secret to a good paint job though is good prep work, any imperfections in prepping will show through a decent paint job.

Yeah I can get a decent finish, but I frankly hate doing it. Its one of those things I'd rather pay someone else to do for me.

That's good to know. I'll PM you with a design pic if that's cool? or If you're coming up next week we could arrange something.
