and rmb.. each coat... wait for at least 2 hour before next coat

just wait for it to dry and spray the transparent 1....
Don't scrap off all the paint. Espically if your frame is aluminium. Once you soray off all the paint, and your frame oxidised, your paint will be less hardly. Scrap off abit, but not all of the original paintwork.
If your new coat of paint is dark, don't bother with spraying a layer of white paint. The white base is such that you can paint other colors on more easily, but if you are spraying on dark colors, y bother?
The trasparent layer is ayrlic(spelling?) lacquer. It's not very helpful, just another layer of protection. Another suggestion is to go down to a car spray shop and get them to lacquer it for u.
