I can't believe some of these have been done with cans of spraypaint, definately given me inspiration! That hoffman paintwork looks incredible

lazychubs:
i use the cans you get get from carrs they do all sorts of colours and can even match a certain colour you want
i pay about 15 quid a can

Steve P:
A decent finish can be obtained with a most spray cans ... remember the skill is mainly with the prep work  :daumenhoch:

A good etch primer is a good starting point and helps improve paint adhesion too





Aerosol paint does have a downside ... it can take weeks to totally cure and it's prone to mark easily when bike building  :(

firebird4130:
thanks, I have primered it today, it's looking pretty good but I looked closely and although it's even it has a kind of eggshell bumpy texture u know? like not smooth like glass, do i need to use wet wet and dry sandpaper? how long should I wait to sand it?

Cheers

lazychubs:
depends how hot it was during curing
i always wait an hour or so
then wet sand it
