Can anyone recommend a painter to paint my CB500 tank and side panels in candy gold/black? Preferably around the east Midlands area

I used a bloke at Ilkeston recommended by a member ,he did my 500. It's a small unit with no sign outside! He only opens on a Saturday to drop off and collect finished work.

I'll post his contact details when I find them

Sean Dennis 07967 284044.
He had a long lead time when he did my bits.

This is a neat 500 restoration in the USA.

What sort of cost was it?

Sean Dewis, he's done some work for us in the past. Tank and panels in a candy colour was about £600 IIRC.
Edit... £650 was for a 750 candy tank and side panels and a 500 solid colour tank and panels. No prep was needed on either.

Whilst looking for the address (I think it was on the Manners Rd Industrial Estate) that I haven't found.
