Is there anywhere in Kent that someone could recommend for painting tin work and maybe airbrush as well.

Chris Tunbridge at CT motorcycles Maidstone could be your man. http://www.ctmotorcycleservices.co.uk/ but be aware he aint cheap.
What do you want painting? touch ups or full paint work? I'm in Gravesend/Dartford area and do my own paint but I'm no pro so if its "bits" your after I could possibly help.
This is some of my paint

Dont mind doing solid colour jobs but can never quite get masking "schemes" quite to my satisfaction.

Not sure Kev. Think it was probably my standard green one. This bike is the one I got from the US as a donar for the green bike. Although it didnt look anything like that when I got it. Hardly used any parts from it so threw the bits I had stashed over the years at it and built the bike I wanted to in the 70's.
Hows your thou going?
