that looks v good m8, did you get all the old red off first, or just paint over the old red that was stuck on?

also what tools/method did u use?

thanks Ian

stanley and naomi

yeah we did and used the same thing.

We Pealed of the bits that were already peeling and then painted over the rest. Will probably take 3 coats though - to get the nice deep red colour - like shown in the photo.

It looks pretty trick..........how did you do it? Remove all the ancilliary parts first, or just VERY carefully?

How long does it take to do?

That's what I did. I removed the breather pipes and coil pack, then removed most of the crappy paint. Then went round it very carefully armed with paper towel and white spirit just incase! In the picture, it had only had one coat!

Very nice mate, but a bit too 'bling bling' for me!
