I used this to repaint the gas tank and side panels of a motorcycle I bought as a first time rider that had a cheap black spray paint job on it.There was a lot of trial and error, but here's the strps I took:1. Apply a base coat first. I only needed one layer, at most two. I used duplicolor's gray for this. 1 can needed.2. Layer, layer, layer. Dont get greedy. My first attempt left runs like crazy because the first layer looked like i just sprayed 90 of it in the air and I got greedy trying to apply too much at once. I stripped and restarted. I applied at least 10-15 light layers in intervals of a couple hours. I used 2 cans of orange for the gas tank.3. I applied a clear coat using Duplicolor's x3 clear coat spray. Used 1 whole can and applied it in intervals of 24 hours. Ended up being about 4-5 layers.4. Let it dry for a week. Clear coat was soft and it took awhile for me to be confident enough to move onto the next step.5. Sanded the whole thing with 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 3000 grit sandpaper. This was to smooth it up. Clear coat spray leaves a bumpy finish and I wanted something that looked like it was off the factory floor. You don't need to do this if you dont want to.6. Shined it up with some buffing compound and then wax.The main thing I recommend having before starting this kind of process is patience. If not, don't bother. Trust me. This took me 2 weeks of daily attention.
