ive painted quite a few, recently did the KZ & repaired the tail on my rd. the rd tail is fiberglass and i didnt repaint all of it, touch up, blending & spraymax 2k (which IS the best to use can wise)
TBH, id probably try to buy stock already painted bodywork and go that way on the CT.
this is for the 22 models, I didn't see any for the 24 yet. but im sure it will come out soon enough.

I mentioned this int he other post, but repair, spot paint and blend then reclear:
automotive paint (matched) and 2k clear:
to this:
KZ was all rattle can, and it has some serious metal flake in it, very obvious in the sun.
this isnt 'orange peel' in the pic, its the flake reflecting.
KZ was done with products from these guys:

I think it was 79 bucks total for the paint, metal flake clear, 2k clear, and primer, shipped.
some other stuff i've painted w cans int he past:
my 72 T500 (also rattle can, silver base/gold 'anodizing' paint/clear):
my old 70 HS1 (got offered stupid money for it so sold it) daytona yellow, vinyl pin stripes, reproduction sidecover graphics, cleared in.
my old 73 S2A: (yes rattle can). the striped were vinyl then cleared over:
this is a bare metal tank, da sanded and painted right on the metal w the 2k clear. no othe rpaint/primer. on my lightweight RD:
(before prep and clearing):
etc.
yes, all of them were out of a spray bomb. BTW, I HATE bodywork, but it is satisfying when done.
67 YL1E: front black is original, rear silver was repainted then a matte finish clear. it had the yellow pin stripes on it.. not original but a PO did it and its ok so i left them. the solver/black 2 tone setup is original though.
