I was out all day yesterday, and Mark rang me to say my paintwork is ready to collect  I'm going up tomorrow morning, early, to collect. The pic he sent me looks awesome - very bright !! Mine is a non standard scheme, so I didn't expect it to be done quickly, but he said end of August and he was spot on. I was in no rush so the wait wasn't an issue for me. I think he is flat out with work - his reputation is excellent and lots of guys use him, so that means waiting times are longer than some others I spose. Dusty |

If you make an appointment with them you can take your panels down and they will supply and fit. When mark did my paintwork I contacted the image works to get one piece laminated decals made. Mark painted the bodywork then took them to the image works to fit the decals. When they were wrong they asked for an original panel which mark took to them and they replaced them. Steve |

I've just got back from collecting my new set from Mark. Over the moon with it - quality is stunning. He is a really nice guy, easy to deal with and expert at what he does. He is flat out with paint sets - his place is full of gorgeous Lc tanks and panels with more waiting, hence him working on a sunny bank holiday !! I wanted a "different" colour for my Ypvs/Lc hybrid, and chose the Ford orange that they used on the ST Focus. Did it on a bit of a whim to be honest, but I let Mark sort the decals as I thought his ideas would work probably better than mine, so today was the first time I got to see the colour and decals in the flesh. He doesn't normally do car colours so I feel even happier with the results;  20170828_121147 by David Miller, on Flickr  20170828_121252 by David Miller, on Flickr It looks different again in the sunlight as the paint is metallic. I really do think that when the lease runs out that will be it, so if you want seriously good paintwork doing, I would look no further !! Dusty |

Lovely lovely job I really do like seeing different schemes and the great thing is it's unique. I've already had to trial fit mine.

I chose orange as the original Rd350 aircooled's back in the early 70's came in an orange scheme;  1975-Yamaha-RD350-Orange-3507-6 by David Miller, on Flickr So orange had at one time been a Yamaha colour which fitted with what I wanted. I had thought about the lime green that Ford do but thought that would be more suited to a Kawasaki than a Yam. So it's a more modern nod towards past Rd350's. And the colour looks totally different out of the light. The pics don't quite show it as it is. I thought it was called "burnt orange", but is actually "electric orange". I didn't want a Ktm orange, so this fits in perfectly. Dusty |

Hi The thing with paint is that decals can make all the difference, so you can have a base colour like everyone else, but the decals can make it look totally different. This colour looks totally different in the sunlight - when the sun goes in it takes on a darker hue. Photos don't really show it. Maybe the metallic makes a difference ? The bike is a hybrid so I had no problem going with something different, and I'm really pleased with it. Go with what makes you happy Dusty |
