Looks far too good to be true.

What was your procedure for doing it?

[dransy]

i pealed all the stickers of
then i got some of this liquid called grease clean from my uncles work
its like 4 times stronger than turps/white spirit etc
i used the to clean of all the stickiness from the stickers also to remove dust *etc*
i filled the scratches in with fine filler
sanded it down then wet sanded it used the grease clean again
then i bobbed up to my local paint place looked through hundreds of motorbike colours till i found mine lol
got some of that along with white primer and clear laqure
sprayed to coats of primer , let it dry then applied 3 coats of the colour then i used , about 7 coats of laqure
then about 5 hours later run them under cold water to harden up the ive left them outside over night, put them on bike today

I must say, thats a top notch home done paint job!

Looks fantastic, colour match looks spot on as well. Going to get some more aprilia decals and stick them on to get it back to standard?

Did you sand between layers, or just spray each coat on top of another?

Looks really good.
