Tank sprayers
Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Hi Guys,
Recently got my hands on a near rust free tank.What I want is your recommendations from guys that have used who they suggest and what your thoughts are.Here in France I know a good man but because of the situation here his prices are sky high so I am thinking use a good Brit firm.Example I can buy a bike bench with postage from the UK for 2 thirds of the price here and that's without post.It does have a couple of silly little dents to repair but apart from that no problems.Ideas please expected cost etc.
Cheers
Bitsa

You could try David Burton at www.bike-painting.com near Taunton.
I bought my CB900FZ from him - he was responsible for the paint.

Hi Bitsa,
I got my 400F tank + 4 side panels re sprayed by a guy up in Bigglewade (an hr north of Luton 'ish) for £300 this year. I supplied him a mint tank / panels ...but in the wrong colour. Decals set me back another £80.
Ken just takes in 'odd jobs' & does the stuff in his spare time @ home.... if you're in a hurry forget it. But, (in my view) the wait was worth it; I got the tank done in OEM cellulose (versus modern water based) & with a clear coat laquer on top (again, as it would have been supplied) He's an old school chap - wanted to hand apply the stripes: good god, I can't imagine the skill required there. (but as I say, I went for the decals).
If you think you might be interested let me know & I'll pm you Ken's contact email - though no guarantees he's looking for the work....
