Painting GFX any tips.

I did a search on it and haven't come up with anything.

A few months ago a guy backed in to me and hit me hard enough to sider web/peel the paint off my GFX. I want to take off the thing and fix it myself. I dont really know what needs to be done, besides sand sand sand, and then paint paint paint paint. Any tips would be a great help.

Oh yeah....for anyone who remembers that I bought that SS, well, I got it, but decieded its cheap enough insurance wise to keep the RS, looks like I got two Kids now!!! WHOOHOO..

Thanks guys.

if I am thinking right, there is a special kind of flexible paint that you have to use for the gfx because they are rubber, not fiberglass.
