Top Box Repair and Repaint (Not by me!)
« on: October 08, 2014, 07:36:00 PM »
As many of you know when i bought my ST1300, it had a brand new perfect condition Honda Top Box on it, that within 5 hours of owning it i lost it off the bike when i didnt lock it down properly, and well it was a bit worse for wear (Story here: http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=6670.0)

well it is has been annoying the heck out of me, as every time I walked past it all i saw was the scratches!







Well i took it to a Local Spray Painter here in Toowoomba called Doodes Designs (https://www.facebook.com/DoodsDesignCustomPaint), She will paint anything from bikes to cars to helmets so on and soforth!

and vaula!

i have a brand new top box again, all painted up and repaired, for the princely sum of $80, so i am pretty happy with myself  :thumb









she just took a pannier of my bike matched the paint, and i am really happy with the result

Looks great Streak, and the white top matches very nicely with the rest of the bike.   I recall that Abe's white bike has a similar paint job on his top box.

Great result.  It's almost good that it fell off because the black/white design looks so much better than the original.  Only 80 bux!  I paid $67 for the three spray packs to do my dropped pannier and have an amateurish finish.

Copy cat  :wink1

With StinkyPete's suggestion of painting the lid only, it was done.

But, cost twice as much as yours  |-i

Yep, I liked what you did with your top box, I think the colour breakup really works with the white, so it does not dominate to much  :thumb
