    I am looking for some one to spray a small fly screen a after market one for my Bonnie. I want it in the bike colours which are I think Meriden blue and Pacific blue. Does any one know of a spray tech who might help out at the right price. As close to slough / maidenhead or Windsor and surrounding area's would be even better. If so please let me know.

    Do it yourself! Get some rattle cans and have a go.

    Yes People I did think of that but no one does Meriden blue in cans. Even people who mix for Triumph dealers say post us a panel and we will have a go but I'm not posting my panels any where. Unless I can go local and show a panel then I am stuck.
    Ride safe.

    Hi Joe, any good paint supplier should be able to match up to your existing paint. What you need to do is find one within reasonable riding distance to you. They will use either an electronic scanner to get the correct colour or paint swatch panels to match up, but any colour can be duplicated. Don't understand why this is being such a problem to be honest?

    If you lived a bit closer to where I used to live, (when in England) I would be suggesting a paint supplier in Northampton. I've used him several times and the colour has always been spot on. Takes about 20 mins from start to finish. You have the choice of tins (using the paint in your own spraying equipment) or pressurised cans (rattle cans) of the paint.

    Hi joe, if you look in my album you will see my crash helmet what I did myself, it wasn't easy but then ur was t a straight forward paint job, involved 4 colours and stripes! Anyways they matched the colours from my cowl, the company I used was in new Malden but any auto paint shop supplier should be able to do it.
    Once your ready get everything ready, prepare surfaces thoroughly, and take your time, it's easy to spray on another cuat than to sand out a paint run! As biggy said warm the spray can first by sitting it in hot water and you can never shake it enough, flight of the bumblebee is a good tune to do it to.
    And you do feel good with the finished product.
