I'm not going to back down because I'm right. Just to save you from actually reading the whole thread, here I actually refer to Hutch and Simon quite generously for painting early Zs so I don't see what your whining about. And regarding the later Zs that use decals, what I wrote is totally correct. If you have a good paint match, there is no special skill involved which any local painter doesn't have too. Unless you are claiming that Hutch has developed a unique method of applying paint that all the other sprayers in the world know nothing about?? Also, Hutch is not the only painter in the world who can match paint is he? Most painter have done this on every working day of their lives, or are you saying they are all unable to match paint?
Sorry to ruffle your feathers but it's a free world and there are certainly more options for anyone having their bikes sprayed than Hutch. So suck it up.

I know we are lucky to have some specialist sprayers who are very good. The complex paint schemes on the Z1-Z1B require a certain level of skill and attention to detail.

However, after the Z1, ALL paint sets use just one base colour with stick on decals applied over the uniform base. - No masking. - No custom finishes - No judgement. Just very standard, everyday spraying of one uniform colour.....
