Paint job near London - Z1000 A1

#1 PostAuthor: David32knyte » Sat May 30, 2020 12:42 pm

Dear Forum

Can anyone recommend a good painter / sprayshop near London or the South East?
Looking to restore the paintwork back to original on my Z1000 A1. Currently black.

Was thinking Midnight blue or maybe a slightly greeny version of that original colour just for the hell of it.
With the standard pin stripes.

I know people favour Hutchy in Pontefract but that's too far I think.
Bit worried if I go to Yorkshire I might not come back.

Thanks

David

I'm sure there's a company in Camberely that have a good reputation, but I can't think of their name.
I'm sure a Google search will reveal all ! :D

If it was Ooey, i beleive they have stopped M/C work to focus on bicycles although the website front page does mention M/C's!

There was a custom bike paint shop called, Altamura paintwork, Doman Road, Camberley, but they shut down around 5 years ago.

+1 for Sean.

He paints everything I need painting and I’ve always been really pleased. He’s a top man, especially when it comes to Z’s!

OK I'll give Sean a bell and perhaps see whether he can fit me in.
Thanks all
