Help on Paint job!

[t-high 7]

I'm planning a re-paint very soon and I threw together a quick photoshop of what I have in mind. Plus I was wondering if anyone had used krylon Fusion (for plastic) to paint their bike. I remember reading somewhere that it does a pretty good job. Also, I will need to fill in some scratches, not extremely deep but noticeable, what is the best thing to fill those in? (after sanding of course) The pic is of a random kat I found, so the decals that u can see won't be there.

use a quality filler primer to fill in very slight scratches, if they are very deep, use body filler and sand smooth. I've never used Krylon paint. Duplicolor makes now a premixed ready to spray quart if you have a spray gun and air compressor. This is quality automotive paint.

There are template blanks somewhere... I just can't remember where.

You can get color-rite paints in spray bombs now.... if you have your heart set on using spray bombs.

For small scratches I used Evercoats Poly-Flex. If you don't have a gun and compressor, most auto parts stores that do paint can mix ya what ever you want in a bomb. Just have to be absolutely ready to spray when they mix and load them for ya 'cause they have a window of usability and will harden in the can.

I just recently painted my bike with the Krylon Fusion paint. It came out pretty good. Just be careful on the tank cause the clear doesn't seem to do it's job. I already got a splash of gas on it and it seems to leave a mark.

There is no need to use Krylon Fusion on the plastics. These are not flexable plastics and the Krylon paints are fiarly low quality...
Just spray it with a good filler primer then use a high quality lacqure paint and clear like Dupli-color.
Lacqure paints are much easier to get a perfect finish and the color options are HUGE compared to rust paints or fusion paints.

FWIW there are no spray paint clear coats that are gas resistant.. you need a 2 part automotive clear for that.
