Surely a small part would be worth trying to do it yourself? Smile

Whats the part/material if you know.

https://aceofsprays.co.uk/

Dealt with this guy before does some good work.

May be able to do work via post if its a small part and you cover return postage cost.

Can email him pictures here [email protected] for a quote.

That being said i'd imagine theres a lot of more local people that may end up working out cheaper, just get quotes before you let them do anything and if possible try get them to show you the colour range etc.

Did you need it anodising or anything fancy - may be cheaper to do it yourself if not Question

Depending on availability if you're looking to get it colour matched and the same finish it might actually be cheaper to buy another cowl than get it professionally done, i'd of thought you'd be looking at anything from 50-100 quid for a good copy-job for something like that.

Bike Paints in Cupar were £110 for a tank respray about 5 years ago. I've seen their work, and can vouch for their quality. There's a bloke in Kelty, but I don't know what he's like.

Have you posted in the Scottish section? I'm sure Barry will know somebody closer to you.

+1

as long as you've got a decent shop nearby to mix it for you, you should give it a go.

I think i paid £5 for the priming tin, £12 for the metallic look colour, and £5 for the laquer.

Then got some polishing stuff off my old man to smooth it all off.

I could ask what the name of the polish was if you do decide to give it a go.

It was my first try and I done half of my metallic gold bike, you can't even notice any difference at all, it's spot on.
