I would not trust anyone in the UK to do that. There is a guy in Germany that is a specialist in old Honda paint.

I reckon Andrew Parnaby could do it Graham  but it would cost quite a bit.

Since I'm not doing an original restoration project I will be happy with a good job better than a OEM finish. I have 500£ for the budget so it may worth to send it to Germany if there is nothing better here!

When he quoted me it was no cheaper than Andrew and that was without two way delivery taken into consideration.

Andrew Parnaby  07745595013 but it's a few years old ... he's in North Yorkshire though (mention Ash from near Hull). pretty sure somebody else on here has used him too.

This popped up on Facebook RS bikepaints but no idea what they are like but in your neck of the woods.

James has the German persons details.

The guy in Germany I use is Menno Dek. Great quality work, and he also chemically cleans / de-rusts the inside of the tank before painting.

Noelia - he has a 500 set already painted in Gold on his eBay store....

Avoid Whitesbodyworks. Made me pay £100 in advance to get a dint out of my tank and what arrived was a total unfinished bodge because it was simply beyond him. The guy is a charlatan.

The way Menno Dek works is, You send him photo's of the job ie, tank and he will give you a price and a time scale.

No mate, the tank on the CB500K0 was done by a mate who got the paint from RS motorcycle paints. Have had some other tanks done in Germany and his work is top quality.

Just contacted Menno Dek myself with requirements for my CB250 tanks and man what  lightening fast, professional, honest  and informative reply.
Sounds just my kind of guy. Pity we have to go overseas to find  such people.  Not in any way knocking Andrew Parnaby though.. he did a cracking job on my 750K0 paintwork
