Has anyone used or have any information on their services? I have a 4” fairing crack & small crack on the seat cover that I’d like plastic welding and painted. I have emailed them inquiring etc.. so just curious on how good they are. I remember DM from years back, and they’re still going so I presume they’re very good at what they do?
Cheers

Or any other recommendations thumbup

8 Ball paint in Ripley - very good, they used to do a lot of work for us when I worked for BMW and the quality was excellent.

Couple of decades ago now but they used to have a terrible rep. I saw some fairing panels that were "ok", but they'd had a play on the perfectly good underside with a plastic welding gun. I'd rather go with a good recommended local. Have a google, seems mixed reviews over the years.

Depends on where you are based.

Rage Designs in Warrington would be my go to, I've known Mike for over 20 years. He paints quite a few BSB teams bikes and lots of lids for the likes of McGuiness, Shakey, Foggy, Walker to name a few.

Interesting.. just the sort of information I’m after. Word of mouth by people who have actual experience rather than flashy websites is more important.
I’m in Hertfordshire so distance would add to the cost, but I’d rather take the panels myself than post. These panels are quite brittle compared to modern plastics and are becoming very hard to find if someone bodges the job.

If you need his mobile (may be on his website) let me know.

Note - now would usually be the best time to get stuff done, there's no Macau again and the BSB stuff won't have been finalised yet.

Thanks, yes number is on the website. I’ll wait until they reply to the email before calling. Appreciate the help.
