if there were a service available aimed at the lower salary bracket, like discount customising, which was available over the net, how likely would you be to use the service?
just need a view from bikers for business plan.... thanks to all of those who smited me despite trying to be nice............ minus 12 million seems pretty close p.s great uncle norbo think it could be dirty messing about... i'll remember and save for off the board...... i like to think i am a nice person.

well was looking on net at paintjobs and customising and stuff then realised you have to live at the royal mint to afford it....... not everyone is on a good wage, especially those that live in good ol yorkshire.... is lowest paid county in britain.... i would have never guessed.... and in my experience the most in debt.... average of £32k per household, not including mortgages and secured loans.

and dont forget about that idea i got from graphic zoo... but not doing it at their ridiculous price though, airbrushing artwork onto a thin vinyl film, like a sticker but totally handdrawns, and that waterbased paint is called hydropac or aquaban, both made in the states but disributed primarily by ici in birmingham.... is a bge and esters compound base so the paint is held in a water solution with ether and nitriles added and so as you spray the ethers evaporate, leaving you with dry paint.... room temp bake as well ready for second coat in 15 - 20 minutes so zero runs.
you need b/a gear though because of nitriles in it.

Awww norbo gets quoted £30 and vinzey was quoted £150 for less area coverage wish i was an uncle lol LOL . People are so selfish i have found that when some one does me a good turn like this, with no conditions or altrier motive but just to do me a good turn, They fined out in the long run it pays of with me becourse i remember a good turn and allways reciputate. Thanks again dean . good sprayers are hard to fined

i have to agree with you there uncle norbo, i have always found best way to do well with competition is to work with it not against it. word of mouth and favours go a long long way in my book. if someone does you a favour or a good turn the least you can do is return it......

Like that idea, i want my wheels 1/2 polished (the rim) and have the center hub same colour as the bike fading to grey on the spokes. Had quotes before and thought better of it! Bring on the discount. P.S. This is for me SV, not the LC!

yep can do, do you want them highly polished and then airbrush sprayed, so there is no paint line, or just a marbled/faded colour effect on them? then there would be a paint line
