I just painted a jetski in my buddies garage and it turned out great. Wish I would have painted my bike myself too. I sanded it to 400 grit, a few coats of high build primer, scuffed to 600 grit, then laid down 2 coats of white base, 4 coats of Synergy Green base, followed by 4 coats of clear. Base and clear were done in one sitting (about two hours). It was much easier than I thought it would be. Spend the time to do the prep work, take your time, and it will more than likely turn out pretty good. This was pretty much my first paint job ever. Used a $100 Lowes gun.
