Tips for painting my bike … Any advice help?
I own a Honda Shadow Saber 1100, and I wanted to paint. I have no experience, but have been researching in my spare time and want to get some final thoughts / tips / guides. Feel free to be as detailed as you like and I assure you, you are welcome. The color of the bike is now purple and I'm wanting to paint a charcoal gray. Some specific questions include: the brand recommended paint, paint gun, how many layers of primer / paint, wet sanding process, the process of clearcoat / # of coats, and, Finally, the difference between painting metal tank are compared with the paint on the plastic fenders. Am I just a little sand defenses? Do I need First plastic adherence? Thank you all in advance for any advice!
It is not easy to do all the things you need to do to make your first Paintjob go well. But only cost you $ 400 or less if you mess it up, so I will tell you what to do. First, it has flame decals in the clear, I know I have a sword. It is necessary to scrape with a razor blade or such, or maybe it was a sand paper grip maybe 80 in a double action (DA) sander. When you got out of the decals you need to sand the edge of the clearing and the edge color and gouges he has done. A guideline is that each layer of paint should be be very wide, about 1 / 4 inches, and about an inch in the next layer, the reason is that your paint finish does not show the edges. So we have removed stickers and feathers broken edges, clear sand, now get some really good two part primer expoy. I'd like to get a gun for $ 20 from Harbor Freight primer. First paint the areas of broken and that was with a layer ddecal quite heavy. Let dry overnight and sand with a 9 inch long sanding machine tool. They have them in body shops. Use 200 wet grain paper and wetsand. This is important, which is trying to build the low spots with primer for which are still with the high points of light. I wrap it about 3-4 times with primer and block with 9 cm and 200 or 220 wet paper until it feels really soft and you are sure the edges are gone. When you have the fenders and tank of this type, choose your paint. Again, get pretty good base layer / coat paint clear. You probably need a paint color and a pint of ale, it easily should cover your tank and fenders. Now clean the tank with some solvent from a auto paint shop, get a new gun for $ 20 from the port, and put your base coat on. You can take several passes over the 14-inch distance, go over in two directions to obtain the metal, even. Now follow the clearcoat Recommendations for drying time before applying clear. Applying clear is the difficult part. Want to put it in a way that is not flat, but just below the visible small plane with orange peel texture to it. Eased somewhat and perfect if you do well. Good Luck! EDIT No reason to remove the tank to the metal. This only makes the job a lot more. Do you really need not plastic adhesion primer for the front bumper. Just enough to remove the sand the decals, the first and paint.
