Getting a nice smooth coat on is not the primary concern right now. Its getting it covered and then doing a little wet sand before for the main coats go on. SINCE this is a True Garage Bike and I am doing it with very minimal tools as well as a minimal amount of money I will be using the cheapest yet smartest items I can find or buy without breaking the bank. A good auto Primer is the best bet and one that is a "Sandable" primer will be great. Pretty much your favorite auto store will have it.
The next MAIN coats will be regular Gloss enamel paints that will be layered on once the skins are smooth. Then the FINAL coats will be "Auto" clear coats. about 7 coats should do it.
Picking out the color scheme for this type of job should be simple I am going with a two tone Orange on top Black on bottom like the 2008 Nightster style.
