Hi

It cost me about £125 (cannot remember exactly) for the Bandit frame, plus a load of bracket (side stand, centre stand, r/h down tube, 2 frame front brackets, 2 horn fronts, 6 handlebar end weights, rear brake torque arm, top yoke and probably a few other bits I have forgotten)

I got it done in Reddich so not much use to you!

All the best

Keith

Oh, to keep on the good side of the people doing it wash as much as you can of the rubbish off the parts first (like all the grease near the chain).

Also I used a load of cable ties and put one of roughly the right colour on each part. Made it easier to explain what bits wanted to be what colour. Also make a list of the parts you drop off and check it when you pick them up

All the best

Basicly i want the entire frame, swingarm and yoke done in a matt black finish as im getting black fairings through in a week (west paint job for the summer)

Yeah as Keeth says, clean it as much as you can, makes their job easier and as such may even save you money in the labour time etc!

as with most jobs - preperation is the key! specially if you want your coating to last and not end up flaking off

I do love the standard paintjob it is a work of art but im stuck with smokey joe at the moment.... not my fav. West however is lovely

Will take one tommorow for you mate, its ok i suppose, especialy around the petrol tank but not as lush as the west colours

Its red/blue/purple/white/yellow/orange

I'm thinking about getting my frame/swingarm powdercoated too...and also getting one of these kits when they're available (obviously minus the sellotape fasteners )
