Harley Paint Officially Carp!

[csd4t]

2008 Fatbob 8000 miles paintwork on rear fender is peeling and bubbling (should be ashamed of themselves on a £14k bike), so pulled all the bits off today. Any recommendations for a good Harley painter oop north?
Fancy doing it in the softail pacific blue and vivid black two tone.

Sounds a bit fishy

It's the freshwater that's the problem......

 

[(RIP) Kaister]

is it scaley or slimey ?

i,d have thought silver with alower section in irredescant green would be more in keeping...

They do a lot of work for Triumph, maybe they are a bit busy.

Some hilarious replies there. Any idea what this might cost, more than a grand?

There's a place in Waddington near Lincoln called PRP who used to do all the respray work for the local BMW, Mercedes, Saab dealers and the like until they were expected to provide customers with loan cars etc.
It's a small business run by 3 quirky brothers but they have an excellent local reputation.
I took my Jag there after she'd been side swiped by some tw@t in a lorry, though my insurers wanted me to go elsewhere.
Delighted with their work and I know, having had discussions with them about stone chips on my RT panniers they'll do bikes as well.
They might be worth calling?

I used this guy a few times in the 90's. Pleased to see he's still going.

More of an artist than a spray shop and not happy doing bog standard paintwork but things may have changed.

I was delighted with the stuff he did for me and my mates.

I had both front and rear mudguards painted on my 2008 Sportster after it all flaked off. Gave a mudguard to Dingbro Paint Suppliers. Chap had it for 3 days by which time he'd worked out that the paint Harley use is identical to a Mercedes colour (it's a dark-ish metallic blue ) Took it to the local Bodyshop who do the bodywork repairs to my 4 wheeled vehicles. Supply and painted £80. Now that's NOT Harley prices. And I think you'll find that there is no difference in the colour. Unless I tell people they have no idea it's been resprayed.
