Hi Med has a very good reputation and is very active on the Aircooled forum, doing a lot of bikes there, plus I'm sure OEB on here uses him so he is very good. I've just had Lc bodywork painted by Mark Cordwell in Derby, and that too is excellent -I'm really pleased with it, and again, lots of guys here use him. Whoever you choose, ring them for an idea of price to get an accurate idea. Good luck Dusty  |

Med is around £300 for a full bike Thanks for that russpuss, more realistic price than quoted from dream machine and others. Is there any pics of his work on here. |

I have spoken to Med in the past (some time ago when I had a trials bike with a blown fibre glass tank for repair) but never got to having any work done, whereabouts is he ? I would prefer to drop my top fairing and tank off if possible

Hi Dusty,
If you don't mind me asking how much would Mark in Derby charge for full set minus belly pan, i tried ringing numerous times last year but phone kept going to answer phone and i gave up.

Hi I watched his second hand, newly painted set that he listed and it went for just over £800 on ebay. I bought a new tank, side panels and tail piece from Mark, who had sourced them from Norbo, and paid £1000 fully painted in my choice of scheme, and that included Mark painting a new Rgv mudguard that I supplied.

I must add, I have never had a bike pro painted - ever !! I don't know why but I have always baulked at the cost of getting it done  Mad really when you consider that I paid more than that for a swingarm !! Until these good new tanks came along, I always felt the biggest issue with these bikes were the tanks potential to rot out. Now I have a new set I want another for my other bike, and I'm gonna try and save enough funds this year to get another set done by Mark. The new tank will outlive my biking days for sure and I feel happy that I can bolt it on and never worry about it rusting through in my ownership Dusty |
