Update
The Rustiom bubble up I had to re-sand the nose and front cover to the bare plastic.i primed with rustiom white primer
Kryon the color was way off went to the darker green I had to sand and primer all surfaces paint seams to hold now.
I went to the local hardware store on Tuesday thinking I pay a little more and get better advice they told me I did not need the primer.
after the problem show up the manger got me the right info and help me out on the paint
My question since I'm using gloss paint do I need a clear coat all the parts?

No you dont need to clear it , clear just adds deapth to the shine . If you were using base coat clear coat you do need to clear it or it wont shine .

I used the flexsteel rubber based you see on TV the one that seal a screen door in the water. I used it in the fender well in front and coated it under both fenders. I also used it on the steel part of the rubber floor mat and on the left side engine cover. I went with the clear to give it more shine and deeper color it made the lighter green pop. I used white primer on every thing that was light green then I put 3 coats of clear on the whole scooter it was recommend by the hardware store where I got the paint. while the scooter was down I did some over due work needed including the o ring on the starter and degrease the motor and check all the bolts, screws, and added a 12 volt power point for my phone/mp3 player

Thanks, I'll think I'll be adding a 12 volt socket too.  |
