I am looking for some advice on painting... I've read a quite a bit on different sites and everyone seems to have thier own preferences. My biggest concern is painting the fenders and the plastic parts, I have read about flex agents, laying down multiple primers ect...
I want to go with a flat or matte green and I was looking at some different rattle cans at wal mart for plastics, but I also want to match the tank and I want to do it right. If someone on here has painted thier own drifter please list some step by step tips from sanding, priming, and where to buy a good paint or direct me to a good website. I'm on a tight budget, and this is a DIY job...I don't have a paint gun either. Thanks!
Flex agents are used for the flexible urethane type bumpers used on late model cars. I've sprayed bumpers without it, the drawback is if you bump it ( fairly hard ) the paint will crack. The Drifter fenders don't need that. Without a compressor your limited to spray cans. A autobody pait shop can mix up any colour, finish , in a can and it sprays in a fan pattern so your finished result will look like a spray gun. You have to practice to get the feel before you start on your bike. If you make a mistake, let it dry, wet sand it out and try again.
