Ask a silly question... get a silly...

I was hoping it was bought avec paint! I'm pretty shocking at paint jobs... and boy have I tried in the past!

It's definately a skidmarx and I know skidmarx don't sell them pre-painted.

Hi Rick

Bought a white one from Skidmarx then had it sprayed as you won't acheive the metallic effect doing it yourself, cost about £125, won't recomend them though as they were a pain to deal with (based in Reading), then added some reflective Aprilia logos.

I left the seat cowl with them to colour match too. Have updated my photo's in the Aprilia gallery ('No it's not a black one'...or something like that!)

I understand you and DRider are going to have a busy Winter 'fettling' by all accounts?
