I’m currently uploading shots to photobucket. they may take a while, just taken a load of pics with different cam/flash settings, still quite hard to see the difference tbh.
Some more positive comments though cheers guys!
The paint itself on the front triangle is just one tone whereas the rear is orange, with red/orange highlights on the top. I think this is because the graphics I requested got messed up (something to do with the thinners i was told, the paint bubbled) so i think that he just repainted it in orange.
I was originally quoted £150 to £200.
I am talking to a local (reputable) bodyshop to do a Focus st orange basecoat, and a friend (who i recently found out can airbrush) to do the graphics.
When I went to the shop on monday, after being promised the job would be finished and delivered personally to me on Sunday, I spoke to another shop employee. The guy who was doing the job wasn’t in. So, the guy in the shop agreed with me the guy was taking the p!ss and at the time was on the phone to his boss.
The choice was either they would have it finished on monday night (i didn’t believe this) or take it away free of charge.
I took the second option, as I had taken the day off work (i work near inverness) and I didn’t want any further hassle.
The quality isn’t the best either, paint spits, lumps, runs, paint in the bearing housings as they weren’t masked properly.
So, i am going to have the paint removed (chem dipped or blasted) and have the body shop start all over.
I just really miss riding atm! Cant wait to get it rebuilt.
@trimix, how much was it and how long did it take?
I’ve been scouting the tinters for painting places not finding much, always bloody motorbike customisers, skulls and stuff!!!
I can understand people slagging me, but I have been off the bike for over 2 months now and I need to get some riding done before I get posted somewhere down south, where the riding will not half compare to here……..
