              Hey Caliburst have you done any touch up paint jobs? I have a couple of nicks here and there. I don't think they warrant a new paint job. I know I'm a little late on the post but is there any help?

                          You need to go to a place that sells professional grade paints - the type of place that sells to body shops. There are tons of places online to buy paint.

                            I cant wait to paint my gpr. I have done automtive finishes for a long time, it is alot of work but very rewarding.

                                i was working on an old ZXI i bought at the end of last season. chips, scratches and faded decals. a low cost alternative is automotive vinyl wrap. it's relatively cheap vs paint and not that difficult to install. this was my first time using vinyl so its not perfect but looks better than it did!
