I gor my k6 resprayed by bike paints in cupar in Fife, Scotland.

Custom paint or standard? If standard, it could be cheaper to buy another tank for your model (if you can find one). Otherwise, `Dream Machine` near Nottingham (Long Eaton) are excellent - I had a tank done by them 30yrs ago, they did a very nice job.
Alteratively, check out a `Classic Bike` site (or even purchase the magazine, or `Classic Motorcycle Mechanics`) and there will be lots of very competent businesses advertising there.

Either way, it`ll be VERY pricey! Let us know how you get on :onya:

@das Look up Hanger 10 Airbrush Studio - based in Maidstone.  Absolutely stunning work, Stolichnaya just had the tank for his CB750 Honda he's restoring done there and it is just beautiful.

I can highly recommend Ace of Sprays. He's done a lot of work for me over the last 20 years and his quality is 110%.

May be a bit too far away for you though @das as he's Gloucestershire based.
