spraying headlight fairing

06-10-2009, 11:01 AM

sorry prob been asked 50 million times!!
Need to spray headlight fairing how do I get a good result?

Itl be done to match the bike when i go for a respray but need to spray it black for now.
Have seen some nice black car paint with a tiny bit of flake in it... but obviously this has got to go over plastic....
Any advise would be cool!

preperation is everythingget some fine sandpaper , halfords do mixed pack 400 - 1200 etc make sure its clean

it all works better if its warm (the air)

do it outside , (landlords kitchen extractor fan was caked after id finnished)
