Do it yourself – Auto-moto painting!<\/p>\n

Do you want to give a new look to your old motorcycle paint<\/u><\/strong><\/a> ?
\nDo you want to create yourself a custom paint on your scooter?
\nOr repaint yourself a wing on your car?<\/p>\n

It is of course possible! And this without using the services of a professional (car body painter), effective in most cases, but not everyone could afford it!<\/p>\n

\"peinture-moto-do-it-yourself\"<\/p>\n

There are two options:
\nUse a spray gun, like a pro, or
\nAn aerosol. It is more difficult, imprecise and less economical, but you can achieve a good job if you do it carefully. Of course, the aerosol version should be considered only for small surfaces, never for a car<\/p>\n
