I've never painted a scooter before, other than minor touch up work with spray cans. I've certainly never attempted anything that involves two-stage paint and a spray gun. But I own an air compressor. So I bought a spray gun for $30 to use with my compressor. I also buy $150 worth of paint and supplies at an auto paint store.
I need a place to paint and store the bike. So I cleaned out my garden shed to use as a paint booth.
I start by applying the primer. Unfortunatly, the first air compressor I use only produces about 20 PSI so the primer goes on too thick and uneven. I switch to another compressor that pumps out 100 PSI and the rest of the primer went on much smoother. But unfortunately, the damage was done with my initial coating of primer and I'm destined to spend another two weekends sanding the bike.
