I just primered down my bike and im trying to reach a nice glossy black color for a 2002 CBR 600 F4I....How do I start painting it?? Is a certain Primer needed or just buy a spray and paint it? Any suggesstions on where to get the paint from? Thanks for any help in advance.

try a search. If you really want it to look good and are set on doing it yourself than you might want to invest in some of the many books on the subject. Many materials in the paint world can react negatively when used in conjunction. I would start by searching for more info on the subject and also check the phone book for automotive paint stores in your area. See what they have to say. A dozen people will give a dozen recommendations on whats best find out for yourself.

 

get you a big *** paint brush and go for it.

 

If you want a quality job then you clearly need to have someone else do it. Painting is not a simple task and you will almost guaranteed have very poor results if you attempt to use true automotive sprays yourself. I personally have been in the painting/powder coating industry my entire life as my family owns our own shop. My best advice to you is pay the money for a shop to do it, or just use spray can primer and paints to do it yourself. If you aren't that concerned with the quality of the finish and have the money to spend on the paint and proper equip then go ahead and try painting it yourself. You will see that it is a much more difficult task than you might imagine.
