Default ACF-50 spray service

Came across a couple of guys who have had their bikes done by:
allyearbiker.co.uk
About 50 beer vouchers for the job to be properly done & he comes to you. based in North East, but apparantly will travel for groups - so all get together & have a communal session!
Haven't tried them myself & after the pathetic dribble from my aerosol ( it's an age thing ! ) will probably try them later this year.
Word of warning!
This is NOT suitable for Yorkie Chris!

£50 for someone to spray ACF 50 on your bike. Have I missed something?

+ 1

A bit of patience and some different sized paint brushes for the intricate parts. Job done.

I believe you are.

It might be that some people have better things to do with their time?....perhaps for some folks, time is definitely money... perhaps, some people just can't be bothered with getting their hands messy..etc etc etc

I had my bike done by these guys. £45 well spent I thought

They washed the bike down properly, and I mean properly. Then they ACF50 it using a contraption that is very similar to a paint sprayer in a body shop. This gets the particles of ACF50 much smaller than the aerosol ever could. He showed me the difference, there is a big one.

A bit different for me as I live in a flat, but they spent two hours giving it some real love, and knowing that I can ride through the winter without worrying is nice. And now that its been done, I can touch up bits with the aerosol can, not that I have
