    Can anyone recommend someone to repaint a bike panel.

    It has one crack - where indicator mounts - hence the bloody crack when it went over, in the car park.

    It would nearly superglue invisibly, or failing that plastic weld from behind.

    It's a single colour panel from an SV 650 - and being silver can be a PITA to match -hoping someone bike experienced would be up for it.

    TIA as they say.

    You don't fancy having a go at repairing it yourself?
    Plastex is very good for those kind of repairs. And get a decent painter to paint it afterwards.

    Adhesive putty would probably sort it by the sounds of things. I wouldn't bother getting it repainted professionally for just a crack.

    The plastic welding or stapling I could do - but painting to match OEM I couldn't (let's not kid a kidder here ! :) )


    If I caught the muppet that thought it was a good idea for the indicator to mount directly to the plastic, so that when it touches down it just doesn't muller a €10 indicator, but probably a €200 panel I'd string him up..............
