I ride her when the weather is not raining, any time of the year.
The goal:
To paint my motorcycle plastic parts at home. To be honest, if I can use a spray can to do it, like the type that have the new vertical (or horizontal) spray head (as opposed to the traditional cone style), I'd rather do that. I do have a nice air compressor BUT I do not have a spray gun nor do I wish to add that particular tool to my collection.
This is a small job and I'll be removing the parts from the bike and the carbon fiber from the parts. The greenish coloration looks ugly and it's also starting to lift from the parts in spots.
What I need to know is:
Prep. Sandpaper grit to use at each step. I do have an orbital air sander.
Paint to use. Brand recommendations, paint type (enamal, acrylic, etc.).
Clear coat if necessary. Like paint recommendations above.
I have painted small parts in the past with good results as I do follow directions (clean, temp, etc.).
