Yep, they'll be doing the mister donut for me :)
They did my Eddie stobbart scheme which is great - I think it cost me £400 including some panel repairs.
The roads and scenery down here are great too, just a little busy in the summer months tho! :-/

400GB is not your average "my dick is bigger than yours and my bike has a million ponies" forum.
I like to think that members on here are far more mature and understanding!

Yes I was taking the piss, but genuinely I didn't mean to offend him or anyone else who has or who intends to use spray cans. I cant spray for love nor money, I have tried, oh how I have tried, and failed, failed hard.
I commend anyone with a "have a go" spirit. I like to do things for myself, but I realize there are somethings that I cant do, things that require a trained eye, techniques that take time to master, and expensive equipment that is often required to do the job right. If you are going to DIY, the very least you should do it take on board the advise of those with more experience than yourself.
"All you lot" do not take the piss, I have found that many people have been far more patient than I would have ever been. To offer advise and have it ignored, is a bigger insult than a bit of light hearted joshing.
I dare say he will look back on the time he has spent tinkering with his bike, and have fond memories, with hindsight see the mistakes he has made, and laugh. As many people have done, myself included. That's all part of learning, and part of life, we never stop learning, we never stop making mistakes. And we should never take ourselves or anyone's off hand comments too seriously, we should never stop laughing, especially at ourselves.
However, if he or anyone else, myself included, puts pictures into the public domain and cant take little gentle ribbing, then it is them who needs to grow up. Judging by some of the posts aimed in his direction, my little jibe is a mere drop in a ocean of derision. Cant we have some perspective here.
So getting back to the original question, where can I get my panels sprayed ?

Try Roadrash paint in Leighton Buzzard. Jon is very good, cheap enough too but as a result is very busy.

One of the lads off here is having his done at Roadrash as we speak!! I think it was your panels that made him choose Kris.
