Spray Painting

[bigbenji]

Hi guys, i ride a phantom TA 200. Its full matte black.

 

I just wanna know what brand of spray paint should i get to spray my bike again. I went to a shop they offer me 3 dollars can. I doubt its so cheap for a motorbike. Anyone can suggest please?

 

Btw i new rider la so i don't know much about bikes.

What you want to spray? The plastic areas like fender and body? Then any spray you find in supermarket or ArtFriends will work. Usually it's acrylic, this is what they're probably offering you. It's very soft and will chip off easily just by scratching it with your keys or something. If you want something stronger you need "Automotive Spray Paint". Google that up, it's quite a bit more expensive than the cheapo acrylics, but works better.

 

If you want to spray your exhaust, you need special High Heat spray paints. Google "VHT Spray Paint". Might be hard to find in Singapore.

Spray already still need some coating to protect the paintwork, else under this hot sun your paint job won't last.
