Frame Painting

[Gumbyack]

Hey guys I was wondering what you guys prefer to paint your own frame with? Do you like rattle cans or prefer spray guns? Also have any of you tried the Spraymax 2k Rattlecans?

ive painted half a dozen high end steel road bikes with really good results. i use a spray gun with autozones ready to spray lacquer. a quart of primer, quart of color and a quart of clear is 24.99 each. enough to do a couple bikes. i know people dont like lacquer for some reason but this stuff is amazing. i painted a frame outside in 35 degree weather over the winter and it came out nice. i would paint it then quickly bring it inside to dry. under normal condition the stuff sets up fast. i can primer, paint and clear before lunch. for the price and results i will only use this paint. pretty durable to.

Thanks for the info! Is it more durable than the spray paint?

 

[sloar]

If your talking about spray paint from a rattle can, yes a lot more durable

Ok cool! Thanks for your help.
