Painting my hawk
How much paint will I need to paint everything? I have Carbon Fiber wheels so I dont need to paint them, but I do have full fairings. I would also like to have a little extra to experiment with especially on my old helmet.
Thanks in advance guys.
And so far, I LOVE THIS FORUM!

Typically one quart for an entire set of sport bike bodywork. Since the superhawk doesn't have a "full" set of fairings you should have enough left for a helmet.
I bought an ebay kit and tried it myself. It turned out OK for a first attempt but no show winner for sure.

I paint everyday
A pint of color, usually gets reduced to a quart or slightly less depending on the paint system,(standard color not a candy or pearl) for the base. A Quart of clearcoat plus hardner.
Unless you are doing some graphics work or want to wet sand and re-clear that will be enough for almost all sportbikes.
Good Luck,
