Need to rattle can my bag lids
I have to replace my saddle bag lids and got a pair of NOS off of ebay.
Wrong color of course.
How difficult will it be to rattle can them vivid black and not have them look like crap?
Anybody have a quick procedure for this?

There's been a few people that I've read doing that. It can def be done. If you take you time, and focus on the prep it will come out mint. I did the nacelle, and covers on my bike. I will recommend finding a two stage clear coat. The normal clear never fully hardens.

you can shoot them in dupli color and use a 2k clear, it is a 2 stage paint in a can. works awesome and has a self level in it so makes wet sanding and polishing easier... i highly suggest you soak your black rattle can in hot water 10 min before shooting it will help it atomize smoother and flow out much better

Hey, thanks for the replies! I'm still on the fence as to having the whole bike painted or not.
Colormania shot me what I think is a fair price to do it. Plus, the lining in the tank is bubbling and they do that as well.
