Dream Machine aren't cheap but do a tidy job - £560 inc collection and delivery. Next time I will use them!

Seen far too many poor paint jobs from Dream Machine.
You'd be better off with a smaller,local paintshop that doesn't exist on a "reputation" from years ago.

They are local to me and its a small setup of 3 people. I popped in to look at their stuff and spent a morning chatting about bikes.
Good guy and the work I saw was excellent and comes with a gaurantee!
I will def use them for my paint soon when I have saved the pennies.
Less than £600 was the estimate but obvioulsy depends how intricate.
They are in Kibworth leicestershire.

heck - I'm agreeing with Fitzer - Hutchy did a very good job on my respray - including fiddly Z1R decals...........
think I'll go lie down now.

dream machine rearely get it right first attempt. I have bought z1/z1a/z1b paint sets off Dave at z-power and the paint match is fantastic - and reasonable money. I took NOS tanks with me to match up the paint and they were great. Talk to him nicely and he will do you a good deal.

If you take a look at the project section on this site to restore a neglected Z1b
we purchased a brand new tank set from Marsden at Zpower and it was fautless think it was About £650 and sold the old set on ebay for about £200 so it only cost £450 for a new perfect paint set with all new parts!
Worth a mention!!!!!!
