That seems an awful lot of work.... just as well its not me doing it  :lol:  Cheers for the tips !

I'll be booking into the fast group next time we're on the same trackday and show you how its done and on the baby gixxer too  [rofl]



thats if u just want a top quality finish like glenn has , if u just use the bmw cosmos , it will be just primer then paint ..then laquer if wanted a better finish ,but for a track bike i wouldnt bother  :roll:

Keep all these tips coming as I'm planning on Spraying my own bike some time in the future, after I've repaired the scratches etc.

Halfords paint in shit. I mean proper shit.

Find a good paint shop in the yellow pages, it'll be cheaper and better paint. Most places can put anything in spray can's these days.

A good paint job is 60% prep anyway. Make sure all the surfaces are keyed properly & are totally free of dirt & grime. If your paiting onto gel coat, you can paint stright onto it, i have in the past, but its not very strong, i'd etch primer it first and then paint.
