not trying to bash or anything, but i didnt know whether or not he could paint, and i figured if he was not experienced, he might run it it or whatever. and as for the sealer, as long as your dont sand through the primer, it should all be the same color, primer grey. right? yea, those steps are neccessary on a quality car paint job, but for the frame of a 4 wheeler that will get chipped and abused like a 4 wheeler does, i think you could get by just the same. and maybe save some money. or just powdercoat it. my buddies hill climbing bike has been powdercoated for 8 years, ridden every spring, summer, and fall, and it still looks great. it pretty kickin ass stuff! lol
