Yeah I'm just going to try and be methodical and not rush it this time,  can you do the spraying outside? cheers mate.
P.s watched that youtube link, Yeah it looks like he was doing it a little close range, I'll try further away like you said.

lazychubs:
hers me boys bike i did in nissan green with a hint of gold fleck
i just scotch brited the orange frame did 2 coats of green
and two clear coats .paint has lasted pretty well considering what he's put it thru

firebird4130:
nice job mate, looks like a factory finish, I haven't got a garage at the moment can you still get a good result outside?

perry:
i have painted outside but heres no control over keeping birds/dust/small chidren from getting onto the paint

you will be wanting a lot of sun and no wind too

ive seen people paint thick ( there is a technique of wet on wet ) with it at one angle , wait an hour for it to flash off then they move it , place it at another angle and the paint shifts and leaves big runs

that can be avoided by only putting on a light covering a lot of times but itl need plenty of time to dry and with this countrys weather  ::)

also if its too cold it can leave a matt finish

wherever you do it expect the area to get covered in your chosen colours dust , well ventilated , itl make you lightly high etc etc lol

edit : lazychubs thats probably the mallest frame ive ever seen , i bet its easy to whip lol

ive heard that the metal flake thats cheap on ebay is good if put in a salt shaker and shaken over wet laquer , aparently extra depth is achieved by putting it between coats of the clear , but i have yet to give it a go myself

spesh:
heres my hoffman condor
just take your time with prep and dont spray too close
this came out superb, but i am an old pro at rattle can spraying
