Re: painting/spraying my grey rear hugger.
I would add to this that it really is all in the prep work. If you sand everything back with wet & dry, prime, wet & dry, paint, laquer. You can get some very nice results with rattle cans.
If the surface is not perfectly clean & smooth, or you try to put it all on in one coat, or you rush things, it'll look a bit rough, or maybe not last that well. Jambo

Get to a breakers yard or get someone on here to send you a broken bit of bike panel and practice on this. Alternatively SV_Rory is looking for respray work and may be flexible on .org discount.

Re: painting/spraying my grey rear hugger?
i used a plastic primer, 3 coats, then sprayed it satin black x4.guy in the shop said not to lacquer it as if i dont want it shinny, if it goes tits up i can always do it again, its not 100% but i am pleased and it looks a lot nicer, one of the bolts stripped the thread from the thing welded to the frame, it come un-done really easy, guess that 12 years of abuse, still apart from that well happy.
