All the paint, lacquer and thinners cost a total of £40 - and that's 2-pack paint (hold your breath). However, that was at trade prices. Uncle didn't want anything but I expect I'll buy them (him and my Aunt) lunch at the pub at some point.


[EDIT] oh yes, DVLA... yes technically I should change my V5 to say "RED" instead of "BLUE", which I will do at some point.

Having see the paint up close & personal, so to speak, it's a good job, you can see it was applied by a pro,( better than I could do), not perfect, but then I've never seen a perfect job, but ten times better than Suzuki do.

I even like the colour.

Cheers Mark.

Was sitting behind BillyC in traffic today - Have to say the paint job is superb and the colour looks better in the flesh!

I pass loads of SV's to and from work... just a case of working out which one is Luke. I'm fairly certain he's not the skinny blonde woman in yello leathers, open faced helmet with a yellow K2.
