Looks a good job,  :clap: I'd put some paint protectors on to save having to do it all again.

Yep paint protectors fitted (badly, by myself). Won't protect against being knocked off the bike tho. Twice last year. At a standstill. By other bikes.... :alas:

Couple of questions
Is it difficult to  strip the top box down ready for painting and how much does it cost to have a top box resprayed?
Thanks

I was quoted £180 for my box that was unstripped and in Ebony metallic but that was from a dealer

Hiya it's 10 t25 torx bolts to get the cover off - easy, TBH. All 3 parts were lightly gouged / scratched. Labour was £120, paint was £50.
