Hello friends.
I've got an itch to paint my bike white (saw an r6 white and black and it looked amazing). I've done a lot of homework and have come to the conclusion (due to lack of paint sprayer and compressor) that I'm going to rattle can it. Now I know this wont look as good as a professional... But I'm very patient and OCD when it comes to the looks so I'm not too worried about it looking good. My question; is it an absolute need to sand the tank (metal) down to the bare metal? Can I just sand to get the clear off? Also how do you prep the plastics for best application? Anyone done a rattle can job that they have pictures of? Thanks fz6 community! It's the best bike and best riders out there.
