So I'm still debating on whether or not I want to go ahead and invest in the equipment needed to paint my bike. (Spray Gun, filters, etc etc)...when I run into a guy I know at work. Turns out his brother does paint and body work. So he gave me his number. I called and he said if I wanted to do it myself and I was willing to put the time in (prep work etc) and I didn't want to commit to buying a good gun and all the needed equipment, I could use Preval Spray bombs.
He said pick the paint I want at a paint supply place (hardener etc) and then mix it at home and use the preval to spray it.
He also told me if the paint is intact on my plastics / tank, that the only places I would need primer / sealer would be where I had to sand through the paint to fix deep scratches etc.
He said that I can use preval sprayer for primer and clear too...Said if I take my time and put in the prep work, that it will look great and be durable.
He also said I could use this clear coat that comes in an spray can
He said it's the only clear he's used that comes in a spray can and actually is chemical / gas resistant.
So I'm going to pick out paint colors sometime this week and pick up paint / primer-sealer / and clear coat.
I'll try to take pics when I start. It won't be until after the 750 swap gets done....
