I picked up a new track toy last weekend, a Suzuki GSX-R 600. It has been fully stripped down and prepped for racing. It has aftermarket body work on it that the previous owner painted flat black. I'd like to paint it the same color blue as the original paint that is still on the tank. What is the best way to do this in my garage? I thought I'd sand it down, primer it, lay down a few color coats, and top it off with a coat of clear.
I'd like to do all of that with rattle cans in an afternoon if I could. It doesn't have to be perfect because it's a race bike and there is a good chance that it will wind up sliding down the pavement at the track at some point. Any ideas on the best kind of paint to use for this and where I can get it? AutoZone only had one or two small cans of duplicolor enamel and I think I would need at least three big cans to cover the entire bike with two coats. Here's a picture of the color that I'm looking for. (which is actually two different colors of blue for some reason. I'd like to go with the lighter color on the rear half of the tank)
