L&M Chin Scoop Paint Prep
So I recieved my Chin Scoop today from L&M. I am interested in painting it to match the Frame or something close. I purchased a can of Duplicolor Low Gloss Black Engine Enamel. Do I need to sand the Chin Scoop first or can I just paint a couple of coats of this paint and be done with it?
Also I recieved a little bottle of something called accellerator, anyone know what I would be using this for?

I am not a painter so sorry if this seems bumbish, but what does the primer do? Does it make the paint hold tighter to the object you are painting?
Thanks guys so I should sand with something that is 300+ clean, then like two coats of primer, then do I lightly sand and clean again then paint, or primer and just paint. Thanks, just want it to come out the best I can make it.
Thanks Temco, I feel good about doing it. I just want to make sure I get the best results. Will def post pics but might be a while since the weather is now getting colder.
ok, next question... Should I paint the honeycomb screen? and if so does this also need primer or just paint it up?
That's what i was thinking but seems like it could be a pain in the Arse to sand.clar2001 said:I want to do that also paint the honey comb , I'm thinking it would need a light sanding and a good primmer so the paint would stick not 100% on that .Bozzly said:ok, next question...

Yea, I guess I will just leave it be for now and maybe paint it at a future date. I too was thinking the screen will probably take the most abuse especially since i have the stock front fender so the front wheel will be throwing all kinds of pebbles at it.clar2001 said:The chin scope will take more abuse than any other painted product thus needing more prep , thats why mine is not done yeat .a must do will be a clear coat to avoid chips from raod debree.Bozzly said:That's what i was thinking but seems like it could be a pain in the Arse to sand.clar2001 said:I want to do that also paint the honey comb , I'm thinking it would need a light sanding and a good primmer so the paint would stick not 100% on that .Bozzly said:ok, next question...
