Can anyone recommend a good paintwork / bodyshop?

    I don't have the space for whole cars, the Mini should be doable but I'm using a slightly unconventional technique on that.

    I'm putting mine into Altamura (http://www.altamura.co.uk/) over in Camberly next week. Not cheap but so far i've been very impressed by them, even picking it up from my house and removing the tank for a reasonable fee.

    So far I've been quoted between £750 and £1200 to get the tank, seat cowl and upper fairing sprayed. That seems stupidly expensive, so I think the bike will stay in its current livery unless I can find something cheaper. Vinyl wrap is about £400, so that remains an option.

    Altamura have quoted £342 to pickup the bike, remove the tank, repaint (hopefully removing the old stuff first :unsure:) and apply new decals then return it to me which doesn't seem to bad. They've also said the finish should be of better quality than the original but we'll wait and see.

    Sounds like a good price that?

    Altamura are simply excellent. They did my Stripler... stripped it down, repainted in gloss grey, blue metal flake viper stripes with rainbow prism pins and logos.
