Hey everyone,
I am going to paint my stock handlebar risers white. I have taken the risers down to the bare metal with a wire wheel.
Two questions
1) In terms of surface prep I have hopefuly removed all contaminants and rust with this wire wheel. The surface is currently roughed up from the wire wheel. Do I need to sand it smooth or is rough ok?
2) I want to keep this simple so I was planning on simply getting a can of white spray paint and having at it. Do I need a primer or clear coat?
I have never painted anything in my life so any help is appreciated.
Best,
Adam
