Motorcycle paintshop - Racepaint UK

Never used them myself but they had painted my Aprilia RSVR Factory prior to me buying it and it was a fab job. I have a mate who uses them a lot too and only has good things to say.

My local painter is the best I have come across but he doesn't advertise, never has - he's just known by the ones in the know 👀 and is always over booked. He's done many special bikes including ex Freddie Spencer GP bikes. I never recommend him as he doesn't need the work and people will likely be grumpy about the lead times. He will be doing my KR1000 project (and yes, I will be queue jumping 😇

Really, I’ve always found Dulux good and we get through a fair bit of it on a refurb. Not so good on bikes though.
 
I did buy a bike that had a dream machine paint jobby. I don't know if they had the saturday boy doing it but it was of a lower quality than my buds mrs bike, a vfr 400. Thier quality control was quite hit and miss in the early 2000's

My ex Jarrod ‘Jack’ Frost turbo Hayabusa has a Dream Machine paint job, it’s atrocious 😬
 
I had a DM Repsol Firestorm that was done prior to my ownership.

The paint was so thin, it was translucent.
