How To Paint Fairings!!

[bandit7]

i was talking about spray-painting not pressure pack. and in theory you can literally pour the paint over the item (provided you have the time to wait for it to dry), sand it flat and buff.

hey al i hav is 400 grit wet n dry so do i rub it on da concreat til its pretty smoth or wat what happes if i just use that

you would be better off buying some finer grade paper u will find the 400 will leave 2 many scratches that wont cover up
paper is pretty cheap just use plenty of water to wash away the old paint & grit while your sanding
& if sanding the frame any bare metal should be primed first
to do a good job primer filler or (primer putty) is a lil thicker & can be used to cover any deep scratches or chips on fairings so it is well worth using

thanks bro!

no probs
also use a car (auto) paint it will give better results & way more choice in colours & finish metallic etc.. & for plastics use one dedicated for plastic bumpers on cars it already has the addiflex pre mixed in the can so wont crack or chip as easy from movement

for frame its up to you but you can also buy textured paints like hammered metal in a good variety of 2 tone colour effects most r made for steel & alloy also some you wont need to use primer with <<< no good for plastic tho
