hey, i got a few questions. im thinking i will use a single stage urethatne for my bike.1) do i still need clear coats for that?) !)how many primer coats would you recomend?, what coats do i have to sand before going to the next coat(primer, color and clear)

i would a ppreciate your help

thanks

[restolad]

@perroxbatakkka single stage urethane to my knowledge does not need clear coat

2 to 3 coats of primer & when fully dry, wet sanded with 600 or 800 grit . dont sand the colour just spray 2- 3 coats with the recommended drying time in between  Good luck Restolad

question what cause's orange peel?

[restolad]

@TheBucksatan Hi TheBucksatan. when the paint is to thick or sprayed to heavy, the paint surface looks like the skin of a orange (fruit) not smooth. this happens cause of large spray droplets sitting side by side. a undesirable spray finish. chow Restolad

@darrenn438 dear Darren , in answer to your reply to me, IF YOU CAN TEAR YOURSELF AWAY FROM YOUR THAILAND LADYBOY VIDEOS FOR A MINUTE AND LOOK AT MINE YOU WILL REALISE I AM NOT A DUMB AMERICAN AS YOU CALL ME, BUT A DUMB ENGLISHMAN, SO COME OVER AND "KNOB" ME WHENEVER YOU LIKE

[57silver]

May I apologise on the behalf of all the normal English people for the moronic comments left by the other so called English residents like Josh and Darren . They are whats known over here as Chavs, a rapidly breeding under class that uses a loose form of  patriotism to take away the pain of dragging their knuckles along the ground and walking into walls.Rather than post replies on here they would rather send personal insult private messages when I show their true colours.

@darrenn438 he's not doing it at work you knob....different conditions require different methods, Im no pro but even I know that. Heated booth with good airflow would be totally different
