Gavyn. Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 it all depends how you want to spray it, compressor and airgun or can then you need to think about colour and type of paint matt is easier as you don't have to do as much prep shiney black is probs the hardest you will need primer halfords scratch filling primer than a few coats of normal works the best you'll need to do a few coats of paint just make sure you've got a good even covering and clear laquer afterwards should help prevent it scratching so easily for the prep you'll need give the frame a good rub down with any sandpaper (not too harsh) lust to take the shine off of the old laquer and if you have any dents/deep scratches you can use car bodywork filler to fill them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
