Got a phone call from Graham at Revolution Custom Paint on Friday saying that my Z650 paint work was all done and ready to be collected.
The earlist i could get there was today...just got back about an hour ago.
What can i say about Graham's work it's absolutely stunning...i should have taken some pics of the tank to show how bad it was...you would never know now.
If you want some paint work done by Graham he can be contacted on

0118 9574 577

You could just pop along and have a chat about what you would like done.

Burghfield Bridge ind estate,
Green Lane,
Reading,
RG30 3XN.

Or you could just have a look at his web site,

www.revolutioncustompaint.co.uk

Any way there's some pics of my new paint...i'm not sure what colour you would call it...but it's a candy orange over a gold base with Z1Bish stripes.
