How do I Custom Paint my Motorcycle?
I am looking for the steps to custom paint my Harley Sportster to become a Mighty Mouse Bike. The front fender his arm and fist the gas tank his face and the rear fender his legs. I am going to order pre-primed parts from Harley and paint them myself…but what kind of paint do I need and what kind of finish coat do I need? Also need to make a red seat for the cape…any Suggestions? Thanks for the help.
Wear respiratory protection at all times because a good whiff of some of this stuff and you will be hurting…!!
Set up a work area that you can use for several days.
Lightly sand thier primer and prime again. Spray two or more coats of quality automotive type paint. Let dry and sand lightly between each coat and wipe dust off with a special cloth. Spray clear-coat over the solid color. Repeat the sanding process. Do your graphics and be sure that they are smooth. Apply several clear coats. Sand lightly between each clear-coat, too. If you want the deep shine wet-look you have to do four or more coats. It will chip and scratch easily and be fragile for the first few weeks. Don’t wax it for a month or two or you will ff it up.
Take your time and you can get a nice result. Short-cuts will result in less attractive work…good luck.
