Paints

Anyone out there painted your own bike. If so what paint and where did you get it?

I'm going to be sad and have my bike match the car. (both are due a resprat anyway)

standard cellulose paint available from any motorfactors / paint specialists... treat as you would a car.. if yoru mixing yourself, put a spot of elasticiser in the paint that will help with the application.
Incidently, i have been playing and have now sussed pearlescent white on bike plastics ... That was what was done on the DT before it was stollen

I have re-pained my old Yamaha with standard cellulose paint from local car parts shop? The finish is good and cheaper the having a paint shop do it for you.
