Never heard of them but you won't get much for £500 especially on a lambretta

Apache Customs Spray jobs....bottom picture £460. Graphics are stickers and then lacquered. Had a few stone chips, so maybe could do with more lacquer....but for that price....who gives a damn :D

Surely that's "prices from". To prep and paint a whole lambretta and all the various bibs and bobs would normally cost £1000 and up

Yes it probably is prices from, but mine was £460 for the job lot....prep and paint and graphics and lacquer. That was about 18 month ago. He hasn't put prices up that much really. He is nowhere near the £1k mark...thats why most people in Scunthorpe were going to him. Some went the expensive route and Apache Customs cant compare with the quality of say Dave dicko etc, but for the price, he does a fine job and if you aren't happy with something, he will correct it until you are.
