All the time spent preparing for respray is never lost so make sure you make a really good job of the prep cos it will look crap afterwards even if the spray job is ok. Also it might sound obvious but spray on a clean, dust free surface (like the garage floor) cos when spraying a mates VFR400, the pressure from the can kicked up dust which found its way onto the fairing giving a nice 3D paint effect

If you can afford it its well worth renting a presurised HVLP style spray gun cos it is much easier and looks better than halfords style cans

Best of luck

thanks for the tips

Looks like something a serial killer would keep in his cellar to hang your dismembered body parts off of.

I try to hang things up rather than put them on the ground as you can turn them round without too much bother. Or put them onto some wood blocks so you can still get to the underside.
My spray job would have been different to yours as I took it right down to the bare metal - through about 8 layers of paint. A good sandpapering is important, and leaving enough time between layers. Good luck

yeah well 250 is a lot to some people...

Whenever you paint near the floor pour a bucket of water (it'll hold any dust on the floor) down and sweep first, unless of course your doing it on the sly in the spare room or the misses will be up to see why the ceilings leaking.
