Back to the topMotorcycle Paintwork:
Due to the many different types of motorcycle colours and the individual nature of each bike, my usual procedure for carrying out motorcycle paintwork is for the customer to obtain the required basecoat colour/s from a dedicated motorcycle paint specialist - I can supply contact details for my recommended supplier. This avoids any confusion and guesswork surrounding colour codes and paint formulas that may only be available through a limited number of automotive paint brands, if at all.
As well as allowing the bike owner to get the paint at cost price, the time savings allow me to concentrate on the necessary repair work.
The basecoat colours are supplied pre-thinned and ready for use.
Any left over paint goes back in the bottle and is returned to the customer after repairs have been completed - very handy for any future paintwork or touch-ups and avoids any colour matching or tinting issues at a later date by being from the same batch that was used during the initial repair.
All the other required consumables such as adhesion promoter, plastic fillers, primers, final lacquer, etc can be supplied from my own stock.
During the initial estimating stage I can advise on the required quantities of basecoat colours to order and prevent any excessive amounts of paint being purchased and remaining unused.
