Is that a one part / single stage paint? Rattle can ? Or did you need a spray gun ect...

Nice work!.

the job was done by a professional but in my country costs cheap :p
50euro = 70dollar
this was 2 step paint
first step red only
second step metallic spray (gold)
done by spray gun
have trouble finding the correct color but in the end the results was good except the left cover which i didn't paint
cause i needed to remove the decals and without decals looks crap to me...

I thought I could see a metal flake in the paint... 70.00 bucks is a fair price for the amount of work it takes.

Thanks for posting all the Picts. It may inspire someone else to take the leap, and have some paint work done.

Where are you from?

im from albania/kosovo , gold flakes are more noticeable after paint if you compare to the non repainted parts which was only cover sides..
but in the end im happy about the job done , but never satsified with my cheap scooter
its cheap in every aspect , having problem with my electrical system the regulator gets very hot
can't turn on the light on low/high beam scooter goes off automatically the moment you turn on the lights
all i can do is to drive with position light...
so as far the electrical service man said i need to change the regulator this is a kind of sickness to every chinnese scooter
in my country chinnese scooters are very mainstream ...
At the end i wish i problems would stop in my beautiful cheap scooter...
Missing my Piaggio velofax even the "ugly" style it had... never had any problem on italian beast!
