Re: painting question

Im going to tell you now that house of Klor paint is expensive & is very hard to touch up my bike is painted house of Klor Kandy red awesome color but expensive I have about $500.00 in just paint on my bike. As for the black just buy a standard Omni black cheap but great paint easy to spray , also Omni makes a sweet clear just thin it out 10 percent after adding the hardner. as for primer I dont know 2-3 coats then wet sand it baby butt smooth , paint a good 3-4 coats clear another 3-4 coats that way you can wet sand it smooth , everyone has there own opinion but I paint all the time & this works for me.

Re: painting question

JUst take your time dont rush your paint coats give to base coat a good 15-20 minutes between coats , when you clear give time also depending on the temp a good 10-20 minutes also so its tacky , like I said dont rush it or you`ll redo it , LOL

Good luck.
