Painted huggers (at last)

[mfay@xxxxxxxxx (Martin Fay)]

     A while ago I posted that I was getting my plastic Triumph hugger 
     painted. For those of you who expressed an interest, the primer used 
     was 'PPG universal plastic primer'. This was followed by an ICI 
     two-pack paint. So far it hasn't chipped or been blasted away by the 
     pressure washer.
     
     The secret seems to be,
     1: Don't sand the parts before spraying.
     2: Find the correct primer. 
     3: Find a painter you can trust. (The difficult bit)
     
     Fitting was a bit trickier than normal as I had to avoid cracking or 
     scratching the fresh paint. I swivelled the exhaust (two bolts) out of 
     the way and unbolted the rear calliper (another two bolts) just to be 
     on the safe side.
     
     I know a few of you asked me specific questions with regard to this 
     but I cannot remember who or what. If anyone needs further 
     information, let me know.
