    Try this..
    Wet with 400, prime, wet 600, paint x 3 or 4, wet 1200, paint x1, cut and polish.

    I did...
    plastic weld, wet 100/220, bog, wet 100/220/360, wet 400, prime, wet 600, paint x3, lowside, plastic weld, wet 100/220, bog, wet 100/220......

    the first way is faster, and less painfull.

    Probably not a good idea to get water anywhere near bog!...only just safe after it's primed... it soaks in and bulges after time... and will cause you paint to flake off as it "sweats"

    Yes, but unfortunately the new bike budget is looking very thin at the moment...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I’m hopefully getting a FZR250 2KR tomorrow. I'll see if I can give it a matt black finish all over. Ideally I would get it professionally done but I haven't got the funds so I'm going to try and do it myself.

    Actually, have you all got any tips on what paint I should use and how to go about it?
