Re: cystom/home made paint jobs

heres what you need (all of these item can be obtained from your local paint supply store)-
800 grit sand paper
cheap spray gun
any single stage paint or base clear if you choose (i prefer to use ppg of HOK)
wax and grease remover

pull the stickers off, sand the stock paint down with 800 (being carefull not to burn through the stock clear), clean thoroughly with the wax and grease remover, set the parts up and spray them.

i did sytfuR6's 03 R6 i find the thread in a minute and post the link.

you just want to sand it smooth, sand a little then wipe it with a paper towel you will see how the orange peel starts to flatten.
