Paint job advice
Posted: Tue Aug 24, 2010 8:46 am
Right, i'me thinkin of sprayin my bike black using rattle cans.
The right hand fairing has a big scrape on it and theres quite a few paint chips on other bodywork parts around the bike.
On the tank, a small section of the current paint has chipped off leaving a sort of small dent where i can see through to the original paintwork. This has made me wonder whether i need to strip the existing paint first (to stop things like that showing through) or whether i need to sand it smooth, or fill it or what?
I dont really like the idea of just spraying over the current paintjob (as the bike already has a custom paintjob on top of the original paint) and just building up layers and layers of paint.
Whats the usual process? I dont know where to start!
