Super cheap spraying

£260 delivered, had a couple of cracks and dinks which were filled in, three different schemes were on the panels I sent. Not show quality but 100% more than happy for what I paid, the only panel I didn't send was the front tank bit for the air tubes which was beyond repair. Steve at apache customs did them :). Figured it's cheaper than chinese panels and has the fit and strength of oem panels

Might stick that rug in the wash now I've just looked at the picture and noticed how grey it is, the shame!

Don't know why it looks like I've smeared the lens with vaseline. If there's any interest I'll do better ones

Two colour scheme is the limit, keeps the cost down, thought it'd look a bit cleaner than the oem RR colours, copied the idea off tyga with their carbon rvf. Satin black used where they have carbon :)

Thinking the frame etc will break up how monochrome it all looks off the bike. Would have started putting it on but lost the keys to everything I have, only recently replaced the ignition barrel on the RVF too! GAH!

Right I'm a little confused with regards what you got for your dollar! So you sent the fairings I assume with some damage etc told them what style you wanted and they sent them back for that price. Do you have any before pics? As looking at someone spoofing up my tired fairing and thats a good £££.

I do have before pics! The ones I'll put up are exactly as I chucked them in the boxes for posting. He then plastic welded a couple of cracks, filled in some little scuffs, couple of dinks and scratches in the tank, primed, painted, supplied and fitted decals, satin clear coated.
The inside of the panels aren't sprayed so if you want that done either ask or just rattle can that yourself before if you want that done but afaik none of the panels are the same colour as standard, seat was white inside, sides purple and grey, top red. The finish isn't 100% amazing etc as I said but for £260....I'd be more than happy to send more panels to him. It's more than good enough for my 17 year old bike! Cheaper than chinese panels to freshen it up, keeps some money in the uk as opposed to sending it abroad, keeps a nice fella in work, win win!
Two colour limit to paint, but he does do higher end paint jobs as far as I know, if you google 'steve joy apache customs' his fb page comes up with a few more pictures of his work. And he does have a website with a few pics, including a blue and gold RVF. Here's the panel I sent;
