I used both brands it took me 3 weeks and a lot of sanding a little body filler this original color red/silver
From my notes
Use a good white primer i used 3 coats
Total paint used was 12 cans purchase at true vale i did not paint the wheels
I used the flex steel rubber sealer in the fender wells
Biggest issue i had was the dust all over the garage still finding a year later.
For your info spray paint has no hardener on less it is app lance paint which it great on metal work
i learned the hard way when i spilled a little on the quarter
Take photos before you start the job so you know where the extra clips go
Trust your gut on the colors you want to use
Take advantage of the time to do your major maittince
One thing help let it bake in the sun and do not paint in heavy humanity
Check for parts painted there are a lot of them out there i pick up another scooter cheep it had only 300 miles on it and used the front in tires,clips etc...etc..
One last thing do a honest appraisal on your scooter Motor condition, brakes, etc... plus how long you plan to keep it it is easy to run the cost up and deal with a local hardware store or paint shop and the same salesperson when i got a bad can thy may it right. try that at wally word it wont happen.
And please forgive my spelling errors my spelling sucks
Best of luck and please post photos when your are done.
