Painting Tail Section.

i've been thinkin about painting the tail section of my bike black.

will spray paint do the job? should i sand it first or just spray it right on over.

i was thinkin about just using black primer after sanding all that yellow down and rockin it like that. any words or advice?

Re: Painting Tail Section.

heres what u do, sand it with 1000 grit before anything, just scuff the paint thats on there now, after that whipe clean with a rag, now hit it with primer real gently first, just darking the color thats on there now, after u darken it once darken it alittle more then start hitting it good tryin to keep it looking Wet till there are no stripes, after that do the glossy crap thats described above... if u want, in my book glossy can paint can eat a dic n clear coat in a can pfft... flat is the way to go.

Re: Painting Tail Section.

that stuff is cool and all but if your intending to sand your primer a little first to get your over all paint job smoother then spring for the expensive stuff. the cheaper stuff doesnt sand as well, it gets gummy and clogs up your sand paper.
