I agree. Painting your ride in flat black would be as useful as a chocolate teapot. Must and has to be gloss, plus don't forget to get several coats of clear on top.
OP should shoot off a PM to 'Ekvals' and get a heads up on how and what was done re his new 'all over' paint job.
I've read somewhere that 2 primer coats are laid on to fill the rough surface of little craters and to smooth out the surface prior to sanding and final colour. GL
