    Someone to paint my GPX fairings

    Hi all. Just wondering if anybody would be able to give me a quote to paint the fairings/tank on a GPX for my wife. I will remove and prep (to your instructions e.g. sand and degrease) but my painting skills are limited to flat walls with a roller. They currently have a cracked/hazed appearance from a really poor pressure pack attempt! Colour combo likely a white with some pink to match the wifes gear :-) Cheers, Chris

    might i suggest also leaving the prep to said pro

    i know it might seem that it saves you money but my money is on poor prep being most of the reason for the crackling in the "poor pressure pack attempt" not questioning your abilities but the final result relies on the complete process not just who squirts the coloured stuff on it.

    i've had quality paint mixed and put in spray cans and had some excellent results but friends who tried the same thing were very disappointed, others got the same results with cheap ass rattle cans, so yes the painter makes a big difference but they need to have control from start to finish for you to get the best for the money you're spending on their skills.
    Do you remember the good old days before the internet?

    when arguments were only entered into by the physically or intellectually able.
