I need to get my middy painted and wonder where I can start looking for a good but locost job in Essex.

No such thing as a good, cheap, paint job. The 2 just don't go together.
You could do it yourself??................

If I had a workshop big enough I would love to have a go myself but I only have a single garage without extraction or compressor. I want to use a 2 pack paint which is a big no-no without the proper gear.

I am however willing to give as much help as needed - I just need the guidance and tools (and space) to do the job

you could try my mate (hes behind cc plumbing)
ask for will

he painted the twin zx9 from around here (orange one)

carnt remember his name

Ta mucho Chilli - I'm passing his way this afternoon and will drop in and have a word.

If hes too rich for you then try KEN BAKER in the same yard !
hes ok (locost price) but finish can be crap (over spray etc)

you could always borrow my garage

well depending on how long it will take you !

got the compressor, good excuse to buy a new gun,
but not vent ( extraction) well i have a big door that opens

Could try these guys, dont know how much they cost but used to spraying fibreglass

Chilli - I called in to se Will and it doesn't look as though he will be able to fit me in before November. His yard was so packed I couldn't even find a space to park!
His price seems a bit pricey but at least he was flexible about payment & vat

Thanks for the offer of your garage but I think I would struggle to do the job myself, hence my search for a painter.

Steve - thanks for the tip. I will give them a ring.

try ken baker
he is in the same yard

some time there people waiting about a year for a job done by him !

one guy had his orion painted ( flip paint £300 a litre some special thing)
then 2 months later he came back and had a body kit fitted and full respray again !

on an orion !
