Hi guys hope all is well. Im considering a respray on a white t-bar rev 2 NA. What colour you reckon looks the classiest? I think met black (with a gold flip???) Suggestions please.......

Hi Dan

I painted my bike with paint from Rage. the colour is Rage ecstacy blue/green R6003.

The colour change with these paints is very striking if you can get 3 coats on a black background.The pics on the website show a much brighter, radioactive green, but my bike is a darker colour and ranges from a sparkly green/blue in very bright sunlight to a deep green or blue at dusk, when I think it looks best.

Bike was painted by Chappell Coachworks in West Kingsdown, Kent.His work is excellent quality and prices very reasonable.If you were to paint your whole car with a flip-colour paint I'd think you'd need between £800-£1000 all in.

I got quotes from a very good company for resprays...

You're looking at £1000 for a metallic respray and £1500 for a flip colour.

It you want the whole chassis done (e.g.. engine out), you're looking at £500 more!

Hi Harvey.Thanks, it is my pride and joy.

Believe it or not there's only 1/2 a litre of flip paint on the bike, and I bought a whole litre.My sister is having her bike sprayed with the remaining 1/2 litre (why waste £90).I'd bet you could do an MR2 with a litre and a half very easily and probably get 4 coats out of it.
