Painting Bike parts

BTW, the steps in the OP were not even close to the actual steps I ended up following.

I've been lurking on this thread, hoping to gleen enough from all of the great discussions to tackle a paint job sometime soon. What steps did you omit or add to your original plan?

Yours is looking great, btw.

I changed the OP to reflect the procedure I actually followed after being further educated.

For tank and fender, I started with 80 grit sanding of areas to be filled, then 180 grit for the rest, 2k epoxy primer, wait a couple of days, then sand with 320, then 2k primer/filler (4:1:1). Block sand smooth with 400, then 600 grit and the rest is the same as plastics.
