Hi Folks,
I'm looking for recommendations for a top quality painter, to do a race replica in Devon or Cornwall?
Must do top quality work.
Thanks in advance.

Art Attack in Plymstock is very good and they don't rip you off either.

Yes I heard Art attack pretty good too, killer paints in Dawlish warren is a great airbrush artist and there is a great company in Bristol which I can find out the name of if necessary but they start around the 1K mark!
Failing that I can borrow my sons crayons and I'm as an hand with chocolate body paint ;)

Cheers for the recommendations, I'm not really after airbrush work I need a show quality race rep. Went over to art attack a while back; wasn't impressed with the quality of prep and finish, although airbrush work looked passable.
I'm not looking for a cheap job, I want a perfect job, and I'm willing to pay for that.
Keep em coming.

Try Canon autobodies in bovey tracey.
He does excellent work, is also a Biker so knows what's expected.
Ask for Martin.

I will dig out the name of the company I found in Bristol. They only paint. No fitting or removing of fairings but from what I saw the work was immaculate. They quoted me £1200 minum for what I wanted but as it's only fairings that may or may not get damaged I didn't bother. If it's for a road bike then probably not so much if an issue

01159736615 dream machine. Think that's who it was but can't remember 100% as there was a couple on that area. Did loads of research and looked at reviews etc for hours and they seemed really good but make your own mind up. Ring them!

Dream machine are in Nottingham, bit further than Devon or Cornwall, so I think I will give them a miss for now, unless nothing comes off the local search.
Just bought brand new OEM fairings and tank ready for the transformation.
Slowly coming together.

There used to be a place in n Saltash, but I can't remember their name! (We are going back a few years now, mind), and did Jerry move to Spain in the end? He used to be down in Union Street, just off then octagon last I heard of him ....
There is also a place in Bristol who's name also escapes me, but they did post a few times on here, so might be found doing a search?
The only other person I know worth recommending only does limited stuff for friends .....
