Thought you would use Mortley Jim? leave your bike on paddock stands.. whip off the brake discs and tell him to mask up.. and paint with tyre in place.

You could have it all done in a day.. off.. painted.. and back on again before dinner.. :D

We were talking about this the other day, as I have always had my wheels powder-coated ..... but it does tend to chip, and when it does it can't be patched up, just re-coated :evil: Whilst paint is generally a little softer, modern ones are pretty resilient, especially with a few coats of good clear over the top, and then at least if you scratch or chip them they can be touched up pretty easily :?
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....
