If you are short of cash you can massivly drop the cost of the job by doing all the prepping work yourself.
just get hold of somm 400 grit sandpaper and key all the fairings up yourself. then if they have to do anything it's much less work and at about £35 p/h its a lot of cash saved.
Have a browse through the net and im sure you could get a good idea of what to do.
That greens growing on me tho!
400 grit is WAY too coarse.

I START with 600 and work up to 1200

Even then I am being lazy and not going up to 1600

Any suggestions for another random paint job? photoshop will let me change to colour of the bike to everything except white as it washes out
