Hi, sorry if this has been discussed before. i was thinking of getting a complete paint job done on my 4L1. I've used dream machine for a previous bike a few years ago,with a bit of hassle, but not enough to put me off.
I was happy with the job, in the end. I have read they are now worse, so maybe it's not a good idea. It' a standard paint scheme. Any thoughts, recommendations would be appreciated .Thanks

3 paint jobs is quite a recommendation. I've just seen Med advertised in the latest well a 'rd magazine and checked the link. I will get in touch and see what he says. Thanks very much for the tip and the link.

Mark Cordwell in Derby is the man for me. Done 3 or 4 sets for me and all been great and on time.

I dont think Dream Machine is one of the cheapest, but they do a good job, it was a toss up between them and Mark Cordwell, I've used them before so they got it

Thanks for the replies, I've got a few good options now. The reason I chose dream machine the first time was I hoped they would do a good job, which they did. I wasn't sure if they where still the same.

I had my 4lo done in standard trim by Mark cordwell, what impressed me was he shot blast the tank and pressure test it, and if its leaking he will repair it with silver solder which has got to be a good thing, my mate has just done his himself and made a proper Good job only to find it's now leaking so has to start over again, I think. Had a quote from dream machine of approx £800 by the time postage was included

I have work from Dream Machine and Med. Dream Machine work was done a few yrs ago. Dream Machine did an excellent job of painting the INSIDE of the tank as well as putting the laquer on with a trowel. Horrible.
Where as the Med paintwork is excellent!!!!!!! And I would not hesitate to use Med for future projects.

l think what a lot of people fall for is ''Been painting since the 80s'',for example. Well, i've been chasing women longer than that, however it doesn't mean i'm any good at it.

I had a tank painted by Dream machine in 2013 and now have a tank painted by Cordwells in I think 2014, Cordwells work is more accurate in terms of colour , depth of finish and workmanship in terms of detail such as the un-painted area around the tank cap.

Mark Cordwell mate, he's done my 350lc in Roberts colours. Really pleased with it. He's made a nice job of the cracks on me panels too.

Just to follow up. Got my paintwork back from Med at Medpaint, and the work is excellent, the communication couldn't be better. It's the best value for money I have ever got in all the time I've be messing about with my bikes. No wonder he is a busy man. Highly Recommended. Thanks for the advise and pointing me in the right direction.

I've got mine in with Mark Cordwell at the moment so it's great to hear he is one of the go to guys for paint. Seen his work looks fantastic.

Would someone mind giving me an idea on what a complete set costs to paint?
