Did you guys wet sand the paint between coats or did you wet sand again before applying the clear? I'm painting mine right now and i have some small spots that aren't completely smooth in the paint and i wet sanded the primer with 400 before painting however there are still those spots. would it hurt to wet sand and apply a final coat of paint? Just want to make sure before i finish up painting today. Thanks ~Heath

I don't know about Lou's amounts, but to paint the tail for an 03 takes 1 can for a little over 2 light coats. www.color-rite.com has the suggestion somewhere for how paint is needed to paint a bike.Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

As for the orange, I used 2 pints of Orange, 1 pint of white, and I think 2 or 3 pints of clear, not including all the reducer and such.Kan-O-Gixxer!

The "Mirage" paint comes in a smaller can too, and you needed to use a lot of coats. I wasn't sure how many cans it would take using a regular size can.Kan-O-Gixxer!

This is the exact kind of info I was looking for. I really want to paint my bike, but I was afraid to try it without having tips on how to do it. I can't afford to take it to a professional to do the job and I didn't know how good of a job one can get from using spray paint.
I want to paint mine just plain black. I believe Walmart has a black Fusion paint that might have some glitter in it. If it does, is it ok to also use the same brand clear coat on that (I believe that it's Krylon)? Also, for the paint, do you use flat, semi or gloss? I know the clear coat gives it shine, but does the paint also have to be gloss?
Thanks again!sigpic
