I'm bugging out of this one as I have no more to say except to make the comparison....
"set yourself up for about $450"
Rattle can on a masked table outdoors on non windy days cost me $40 - $50.
How deep are your pockets, I guess that's one of the main questions & how much will you use all that stuff again.

Valuable Info, For Sure!

Hey Salty!
Thanks for speaking up and all you info. I really like that cafe style you've set your bike up! My only issue with using spray cans is the finish standing up to gas spills. You get great results. Do you think there is a brand of clear coat that will stand up to gas spills? If so, that would be great news to a lot of people.
Thanks! Bill
P.S. Maybe a pro mix clear coat in an air brush would protect the finish?

any catalyzed urethane clearcoat will resist gas, and a lot of other fluids bike and car related. Monk is right when he asks how deep the pockets are. only chimed in because part of the original post was
'maybe one a year" or something to that effect. If you have the mechanicaland electrical aptitude to resurrect one bike a year, or more, than eventually I would assume you would want the appearance to match the quality and skill level of the rest of the bike. On the other hand, spray can finishes can be achieved for 40 or 50 bucks that look really good. The pix posted in this thread are all outstanding, and I admire them. I'm not a professional painter, although I could/maybe should have been. I just use the equipment for a lot more than just bikes, as in cars, tee shirts, helmets, bicycles, skateboards and blah blah blah.........
I would love to see your attempts, because it sounds like no matter which way you go, your efforts are going to be well grounded and will probably shine (no pun intended).
Oh, and as for the "airbrush", they are used for the small stuff. The biggest air "brush" is used for tee shirt artists and it won't get the job done.

This stuff is supposed to be exactly the same as a two part paint, well, because it is. I have heard amazing things about it.
A 2 part clear over a rattle can should protect your paint from gas etc. Even one of those killer cans would do it.... IF you don't get a reaction. No guarantees that you won't.

Hi,
I am a proponent of the $50 rustoleum paint job, having done my cargo trailer and my GS1000. Word of caution: don't use rustoleum clear coat. It is NOT gas proof. Back to the drawing board!
Cheers,
Lyle

I haven't done any painting except for some light touch-up, bout one of my buddies who has done several bikes says that he uses rattle-cans that have been filled by one of the area automotive paint stores. They have the capability to mix and fill aerosol cans in the store. Call around your area to see if there's a similar outlet near to you.
