I do want to pick your brain on â€basic†paint setup. I work for a PPG paint distributor but I’m not in the paint side of the business. Would like to know what your preferred products are for the bikes I find there’s so many different options in the professional paint world it’s hard to know where to start!

More of a serious hobby. I used to Paint cars as a hobby. Since i Retired 5 years ago i have been focusing on motorcycles. Taking on a complete car again might not happen. its a huge commitment. I average 250-300 hours on a auto paint job.I would tell people just to paint a door is.... 20 hours prep, 3 to paint,5 to sand and polish. so we have close to 30 hours into a door. So my Motto now in retirement is i do stuff for others for "fun and for free"
I would love to chat and exchange knowledge anytime
this Mach1 is my last paint job and the only car i have painted for myself.

Nice paint job on the tank and side panels. That’s a sound looking car as well.

Great looking Ford Mustang - takes me back to my days in the car trade in 1973-79 - my Boss ran a Ford Gran Torino white with the red side burner stripes.
He swaped for a Ford Fairlane Coupe as they were RHD for the UK built in Australia iirc. Then he switched back to LHD with a Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. All great cars for pulling a twin wheeled horse box around the midlands.

I got the tank painted a couple days ago. Polished and applied the decals today. Very happy with the results

Hello, with all due respect, why ruin a good paint job with those stickers?
