Painting.


I'll take video of me next time I paint something. You can use it as a training "How not to"

spray paint is cheap and you can get it looking pretty decent with an aftermarket clear coat.

but it also isnt too expensive to have someone hit it with a single color w clear since its a small piece and ready to paint.

After market clear? Like?

If you take some time, you can get rattle can work to look prety damn good. I painted an old Vespa with rattle cans and it looked great.

Gimmie a bush, and I'm a paintin' fool - and yes I am that nerdy

You can't use epoxy clears or color for applications which include exposure to UV.

Many paint supply stores will sell you a single use spray can with 2 component materials.

It's more money than cheapo krylon, but it gives the opportunity to use the good stuff.

Uv protection is pretty important isnt it.   Tongue

Well then, look for something else. I actually paid a body shop to clear my tank. cost me $60. im sure they can clear yours for much cheaper.
