Whole bike resprayed (tank,sidepanels,tailpiece, bellypan & mudguard) for £150 by a mate in the trade. Complete set of Cagiva style logos from Spareshask for £25. Late style front fairing matched, and cowl & belly pan repainted (due to stone damage) at a later date for an extra £50

Couldn't agree more. My original dark finish wore through to bare metal on the tank in 6 months - which is why mine ended up being resprayed metallic red.

I think that Darks are cool - it's just the factory paint finish that's pants

what the heck were you doing with it?!?!?!

mine's ok and not heard of anyone else having this problem so i'm thinking praps you belly rubbed it down to bare metal (although from your avatar your belly looks quite flat).

darks rule - gloss/shine/metallic is pap. (apart from the polished alloy/cromed ones like PD's)

Well I do like darks, yes but would I choose a one off bespoke red, in eyeball melting knicker dissolving sparkly hues over yet another -yawn- matt black? they are "quite" cool but alas also very common and a bit passe. I have also known tooooo many pleby bikers over the years with mad max themed matt black chopped down jap horrors to be impressed with it any more.
so there.
