Re:
That's exactly what I did last time. Thought about so many options, satin black won the day.
Yes, that's the plan. There's a place in Sandbach that's not a million miles away and they do a good range of finishes. I am going to take the frame with me too just so there can be no surprises.
As for the paint above, always had a soft spot for Nissan Midnight Purple, just not sure this is the place for that. Again, so many options. I think I'm leaning towards powder rather than paint just for durability
