Paint job near London - Z1000 A1

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!

Seans done my Z1R and has another Z1B set of mine up there. Please don't give him any more work yet !!

Does a good job though and a nice bloke to deal with.

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