i dont really know what kind of paint is used on frames generally.

and i'm wondering what you lot'd do in my situation.

with cars its was easy - key the surface then whack the new colour on.

plus i wanted to take a shortcut by not morsing the frame.

wish i still had a spray booth to use.  >:(


dave your tips on spraying are vital for any spraying novice.

also one point of note is that spray can paint takes a full WEEK to harden properly.

weston:
painting with ease, sand down, primer, sand down smooth(wet & dry), paint(many thin coats,10 mins apart), sand down(wet & dry to a haze), laquer, finished ;D

Chris:
Halfords mixed colours - ie. get them mix a colour for you - are a nice cellulose with decent cover & a nozzle which gives a nice arc. Worth 10 times the standard pre-mix range, yet less than twice the price.
