After my bike getting knocked over, the plan is to replace or repair the cracked fairings and then spray them all one colour.

The only thing is i don't have a clue about spraying, do the fairings need rubbing down or anything prior to getting sprayed? i'm guessing stickers need removing?


Cheers

I was only planning on preparing them for spraying, not paint it myself as i know it would turn out pretty shite.
That's a good help though, cheers.

But the key to a good finnish is in the prep.

Bad prep = bad finnish

I will try my hardest with it so hopefully it should turn out okay, saying that anything is better than fairings with gaffa tape holding them together.

Cheers

Ditto....
& whenever people ask me if they should prep them for me first I always tell them "Only if you want me to charge you more for fixing the fuck-ups you install"
