I did a quick sand with some wet dry 600 grit to rough it up a little wiped them down with some grease and wax remover set them up on my home made jig (2X4 scrap and screw)
Sprayed promoter and allowed a dry time of about 15 min between coats and then wait roughly same or longer before first color base coat and 15 mins of flash time between base coats too. Clear coats the same as base coats but I gave the base coat overnight to dry and then did the clear today.
All the information is actually on the cans of paint. As for were I sourced the paint I tried a new company this time since last time I used another company for some paint for my bike it was a shade off, so I went with:
Automotivetouchup.com Touch Up Paint, Aerosol Spray Paint and Paint Touch Up Accessories Also this is were I got all my paint supplies in the first picture from. Best I can suggest is light coats at first then a few good smooth coats after that. If you think you may also have issue with dust particles may want to get a tack rag to remove dust between coats or prior to first coats.
