one more thing is there a trick to getting the front fender on without sratching the paint? I had a hell of a time getting it off of the bike, and dont want to mess up the paint putting it back on.

Sweet. I painted my car for the first time. Turned out great (though, 3 years later it's now starting to chip in the places I sanded half-assed. Lesson learned. The hardest part of painting for me was the clear. Not necessarily spraying it (even though it's much more difficult than base or primer) but making sure there is 100% ZERO dirt on it before you spray, or else you get cleared dirt, which looks like *** when you're done. Just be sure to tach-rag the HELL out of the thing before you clear it. Good luck.
