I'm thinking of paint at the end of this season. Ideally I would like to prep (filling scratches, wetsanding, and primer) and just bring the plastics/tank in to have someone shoot it. I'm not looking for a showroom quality paint job as I don't have a garage to store and it would be a waste if I were to get one.
I attached the worst of the rash. My question is, is this something that could be sanded out or should it be filled (and then sanded)? Also, the previous owner cut holes in the fairing for frame sliders which I'm thinking of filling in. Probably fiberglass behind the holes and a skim coat of the flexible glazing putty? Lastly, I've heard people say that rattle can primer is ok because it's all going to be wetsanded before paint anyway. Any comments on this?
What would be a fair price for paint if I did all the prep? I'm just looking to get it to one color. As mentioned above, I'm not looking for showroom quality, my bike see's the elements and it would be a waste for me to spend a lot of money.
