OMG aircraft stripper is BAD- very BAD- i recomend sanding with 220 DA then 320 DA and then Prime with some Quality primer like Transtar or some Upol Then wetsand parts with 400 and 600 then paint

 

I started with 80 grit and worked to 600. Mines good.

 

aircraft stripper on motorcycle plastics? hope aircraft is the name of a gentlemen's club. then im all for it. but i doubt it and therefore wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

 

On my 1996 CBR600 F3 the bike use to look similar to this..


But now the bike looks like what it is in my Avator. Which the guy who owned it before me used a rattle can semi-glossy black to paint over a lot of the fairings. Including the windscreen.

While my bike is in the shop I'm thinking about going ahead and prepping the side fairings and such. With rattle can over clear coat would I want to remove all the black and get down to the clear coat and sand all of that down?

Or should sanding the blacksmooth with the clear coat below itbe okay? And is it any different for the metal gas tank?
