Just wondering: preping a bike for flat black paint job?
Just wondering because I'm about to get my bike from my accident and I know its basically scraped to ****. I've prepped CRX's but its all metal, how do you prep a bike?
Sand the plastics lightly, repair any rash or cracks. Fusor is a good product, or you can use cheap plastic weld to fill the gaps, it works fine. Then I used flexible parts primer, and sanded down to 320. Once primed I sprayed the black on, i think around 5 coats. Make sure it's thick enough to not dry too fast, but not so thick that is runs or gets uneven. Mine dried a little fast in some spots, so I wet sanded down to 1000 then resprayed. Here's how it turned out (bike isn't finished in the pics, and that bald front and f2 wheel is long gone
)
