Any good painters in Ontario

Well its done and I'm now looking for a reputable painter In the Hamilton Ontario area(within an hours drive hopefully)to shoot my Eddie lawson Replica. I have the stripe decals, so no fancy paintwork just a really good solid color job. All the parts needing paint are undamaged and only require minor prepwork. Can any of you recommend somebody?

If you don't go local check out Mark Wing here on the board. I will probably have him do my bike this summer. I've heard good things about his painting, and his prices are very reasonable.

Good luck.

Sorry Barney, No news. All my pal can remember is that it was a guy in Burlington who did the paint. He is checking records and hopefully I will get some more specific news tomorrow

Sorry about the delay
Neils Auto Body 4431 Harvester Road in Burlington.
It's just south of the QEW between Walkers line and Appleby. 905 632 4517

This was done about 5 years back and I bought it 4 years ago. People have asked if it was the original paint and it might as well be. I have spilled gas on it many times and there is not a blemish.

I also found them on canada411 and their display add shows a bike. Might be worth checking them out if you have not found anything else.

Good Luck

So yesterday I go to the paintshop. The newly painted parts are awesome,but they messed up one of the stripes on the gas tank, luckily I got there to inspect before they clearcoated everything. They're now re-doing all of the screwed up stripe so it should be done for the weekend. I'm so ready to ride :whistle:
