Title: painting side panels
Post by: solorider on 30 March 2012, 07:09:14 pm

both of my side panels were covered in light scratches,so i bought some halfords bumper paint,it does not need rubbing down and does not need primer,i sprayed both of mine and apart from one frip they both look good and the finish is satin
 
in this pic you can see the drip but otherwise it looks good,shame about the rust on the frame though

Bumper paint is a good choice as it is slightly flexible, so you shouldn't get cracks removing you sidepanels. :)  Want to buy an fx 400 r? :lol
