I'm thinking of re-painting my 79 and I just saw this add on e-bay which seems very reasonable. Has anyone used this painter? Did the color look the same as the original?
Thanks

Ross:
He's done a silver fender and tail for me a couple of years ago. Work was good, silver may have had just a bit too much metallic, but it matched the original tank pretty well. I've never seen his red in person - would really like to. Maybe he would do just a fender for you and you could see how it matched. He was a good guy to deal with.

Boxed up The Travesty's body parts and they are off to Mark for painting. I'll post pics of Mark's work when I get them back...about three weeks.

He has mine as we speak. He should be done with mine in 2-3 weeks. I have heard nothing but great comments about his paint. Only negitive is to do it in the winter because it takes him time to get them back to you. I am in no hurry. His prices are great also.

My newly painted parts arrived from Mark this week and I have to tell you I was a bit nervous opening the box wondering what the paint would look like. I need not have worried as it is fabulous. It has transformed the bike from a nice runner to one that looks like it just came out of the showroom.
Here's some pics but remember the color shown here is a bit more on the orange side than it is in real life.

If you click on the ebay link on my first post above you'll see his add with pictures.
$650 + shipping. I'm blown away by how it looks. He does fantastic work.

He did my candy red and did a great job. He is top notch and the price is reasonable. About 1/2 of what some others are and I am sure just as good or better. It is perfect. :twocents-02cents:

Mark painted the Travesty.

In my perils with the Travesty I allowed the clutch cable to slap the side cover and ding it. I sent it to Mark and he repaired it no charge.

I have a spare set of bodywork that I will send him but haven't decided if I want Candy Glory Red , Black or custom color.
