When I had a frame to paint I did all the sanding, priming and washing till I was happy with it - took me a good few days. I went with sand, fill, prime, sand again, fill again, sand... etc. basically you're going to rinse and repeat till you're happy.
Then I took it down to my local coach works to see what paint they had left over and let them do the final colour and top coat. If you do the boring bit for them they might not charge so much. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Oh painting is easy.
It's all in the prep.
It is a lot more to it than simply prep.
Prep is the biggest effort that's all.
Applying the paint coat requires the skills.
Practice on a board or an old car wing before committing to the bike.
Rubbing it all off again is not part of the prep. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

Biggest issue with fuel tanks and aerosols is how to get it petrol-proof. |

2K Clear Coat. 2k clear coats in aerosol and in can. The 2k clear coats are petrol resistant, chemical resistant, scratch resistant, impact resistant, resistant to weathering and UV-resistant.

Yep, heard of these with a 'ring-pull' activator but never used. BTW it begs the question what the car makers use since all their paint is water based these days - isn't it? ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750
