125 Paint Job
 
4 Attachment(s)
I got tired of looking at 3 rattle can paint jobs, runs, rust and scratches..

I used paint stripper and a pressure washer and got it down to what was left of the OE paint. sanded it quick with a DA and sprayed 2 thick coats of epoxy primer on it. I'll wet sand that next and epoxy seal it, and paint.
its not going to be a show paint job but it'll be one color of yellow and no rust.
I did pull the wire harness out so it wont be painted. and ordered the new decals from maplehunterdecalstexas.com

Looking forward to the completion! Already looks good.

That should look pretty good when you're done :beerchug:

Could you share some info on painting? How much primer and top coat did you use? ( number of coats of each too please ) Also, what kind of equipment you're using.

I'm interested in painting but never did anything more than rattlecan.

Thanks
Jeff

if this was already covered, a link would suffice.:beer2:
