Paintwork from Menno Dek
« on: March 25, 2021, 09:51:44 AM »
I have just received my 500 paintwork set back from Menno in germany and think I am the 1st on this forum since #@%$.
The paintwork arrived after 6 days transit without import duties being charged.
It is possible this will change in 2022.

It's the glass the light is shining through. Not the paint.
Look at it properly before finding fault.

Looks like hammered glass in the near window

Growing up our garage window was like that  :)

Paintwork does look nice.

Hi triplE675,
I am looking to send a tank and panels to Menno.
Can you give me some pointers as to the paperwork you had to complete to send your tank?
Previously I have sent tanks using Parcel2Go and it’s been simple. I was just wondering what it’s like now after £$%&*.
TIA John

I have previously had three tanks and panels done by Menno and they have all been absolutely perfect.

Thanks for all the comments.
Paintwork fitted.
ln my opinion the best colour for the 500k0 but black runs it close.

Very nice.

Agree it's the best colour,  brought a real sparkle to bikes with such iconic finishes,  to match the same in engineering design.

can't argue with the quality. Glassy smooth and shiny.

I'm wierd about colours though....I actually prefer the green..... but when the paintwork is so glossy, the lines are crisp and the finish is to a standard that Honda never bothered to achieve, well...the colour isn't that important :)
