Heya.

My rs is looking tatty so I think I might spray it.

I asked a sprayer ( he works next door to me and is pretty friendly ) if he could do it but he said he cant because you need speacial paint.. Is this true or does he know im gona ask for a huge discount?? Smile

Also, are there any good desings of illumuneus ( I spellt it wrong I know, the glow in the dark paint ) for bikes? any pics?

do NOT make the design luminous, PLEASE.

We RS owners have a bad enough name already.

You realise also that a custom paintjob will reduce the value of the bike pretty significantly? If I were you I'd get a quote on a paintjob then jump on Ebay to see how much more replacement plastics (with original paintjob) would be.

it wont need special paint.
however due to the new paint being on wibbly wobbly plastic the finishing can be a nightmare
