Hi,
Just done the front mudguard (fender) using rattle cans and quite happy with the result- slight orange peel in the laquer will be cut back later.
White gloss van paint over grey plastic primer then a really really (less is definitely more from experiments) light coat of Samurai silky white pearl layer, then clear laquer over the top.

I like that very much. I was telling girlfriend about it. I desperately need to do some paint work on my FZR.

I have no idea why this posted twice. I'm on my iPod so that has something to do with it I'm sure

Re: Samurai Silky white
I used regular gloss white paint as a base, but guess you could/ should use a flat white base.
I got the samurai silky white layer paint here: http://www.spraypaintpro.co.uk/samurai/ ... ilky-white
They only do it in rattle cans- I normally try and do anything bigger than brackets etc with a gun, but I'm quite happy with the result from rattlers on my mudguard.
My main advice would be to experiment on a bit of card/ wood etc first. I think it would be very easy to over apply the pearl and then the finished result is kinda too golden if that makes sense.

Re: Samurai Silky white
That does look good. It does surprise me that you used a spray can.
