    He can run a grey primer/filler now, and wet sand one more time so the color is the same. SEM paint is good stuff! I've used it for years on different projects. Just make SURE the primer and final color are COMPATIBLE!! I ruined a tank because I went to another primer on a project!
    I should be ready for painting on my '79 in about a month, or less. I built a plastic room with furnace filters and a fan for a spray booth. Keeps the dust down, and it's cheap...

      I don't think they had a black flexible primer. They knew I was painting bike black which is why I have the black primer.

      Will be buying paint from the same source to make sure all is compatible. I've made that mistake already

      On a side note, I scuffed up a rear plastic cowl then sprayed that grey flexible primer on it. It bubbled right up as if I applied aircraft stripper. I was able to scrape the primer AND the original paint right off. Weird!

        Gonna have to wet sand them down to the plastic, then spray on the primer. Had to do this to my Venturer's sidecovers before re-painting as same thing happened.
