prep for painting questions??
I have a 2006 600RR and Im going to have a friend paint the bike but to save him some time I would like to have everything ready so he can just spray it. I would like to know the best way to prep eveything for him such as getting all the stickers off and the correct way to make eveything smooth, what type of sandpaper needs to be used, etc...
Pretty much looking to do this the right way so if anyone has done this before or is a painter and could help please let me know some tips ... also when painting is there some type of clear coat that is used on the gas tank to prevent pealing or fading?

get a heat gun...heat stickers and peel off...get some reducer/paint thinner and remove excess glue
wet sand all the plastics with 400 wet and dry...
fthe tank sticker is usually clearcoated over....you have to remove the sticker by hard sanding or grinding it off...be careful not to cut the tank....use a wire wheel or something....after the stickers gone you will have to apply a little bit of filler to fill in the "asshole"where the sticker was...prime it and sand it with 400 also...
