Advice on painting fibreglass please
Hi guys
I’m currently attaching a rallye style fairing to my Africa Twin. It’ll need painting. I don’t want to pay a pro-bodyshop to do it and would prefer the diy way. My experience is spray painting my Rat-Transalps matt-black from a Halfords spray can. The paint doesn’t last, particularly when it rains.
The new fairing is fibreglass with a gel-coat covering. How should I prep it for painting (anything else in addition to sanding it)? What’s the best paint to use? Any recommendation where in the UK I can source the paint (white and red)?
I’m about as far from the sea as is possible, so there aren’t any yachting chandlers I can visit for a chat.
Many thanks for any input.
Thanks
