I got that info from twist the throttle docos

* insert further smart ass comments about painting my house here *

But i appreciate you being meticulous, do it right or don't do it at all.

Wooo Hoo

So we got the frames back from the 2nd attempt and they are still not lime green even after Rob supplied the guy with the ink

I am still not happy with them but at a bit of a loss as to what to do now...

We can:
A) Give the guy another go as he said he would have another go
B) Find someone else to do them and hope they can do a better lime green
C) Deal with what we have and they'll be yours much cheaper (postage plus a small club donation)

What are people's thoughts? Rather than put a poll for everybody to vote on, could people who have ordered please post/pm me their opinion.

Sorry again for the delay, I didnt think it was going to be this hard

The picture makes it look a little better than they do in real life..

hi macca,

im not sure what the other guys think but i would be happy to go with option C) Deal with what we have and they'll be yours much cheaper (postage plus a small club donation)

i do have a blue bike so having the exact kwaka green doesnt phase me really

but if the other guys are not happy with the colour and want to try again then thats fine too

im just hoping that the frame fits my SA bike number plate hahaha

I'll go the C option

I'll go with option C cause i aint fussed

The dude has printed the right green over the wrong green when it should have been done from scratch (green over white its the only way to get the colour perfect)
what a total tozza cut corners & he has farked them again............you know my feelings on the matter Denni

I say send them back. You paid the guy to do a job and he has made a mistake... Fair enough.
But if the right paint has been provided and he is cutting corners and still doesn't come out the way you want them send them back and ask for what you paid for.

If he can't do that, dump them in his front porch and demand a refund and find some one that is willing to do what you pay them to.

Macca, Im happy to go with option C. My bike is the Claret and Grey so the current colour would be ok. But not fussed if others want to try again for the right green im ok to wait

Phil

Kazz has said shes not fussed about the shade of green so shes happy to take it as it is.
Mind you shes gonna put it on her hooonda anyway,so its probably better its not the same as the one on my nine
Speaking of hoonda riders the libra pad joke comes to mind,Whats the simularity between a libra pad and a hoonda rider ?????
The both have wings and a pussy in the middle

Option C

Hey, they're going to get bleached from the sun and covered in grime from the road (for those who actually ride their bikes) anyways, so does it really matter??? I think not.

Send them out as they are Macca, Imy Honda is hanging for it. I'm sure they'll be fine. Its not like everyone who sees them is going to pull out their colour swatches and ooh and aah about how incorrect they are. I can understand your concern, but I really don't think its worth the effort.

C!.......cheaper? already paid haven't we

I'm happy to go with a majority vote on this. If it's going on a genuine Kawasaki lime green bike I can see the problem and understand that the member would like the surround to match but on the back of my black bike it's not going to have anything else lime green around it.

Poor work by the printer tho - especially after getting assistance from RR.

option c is fine with me...
