Sorry about that ,have been hugely busy with other stuff and happened to look at my pending comments today finding yours in there! Sucks about the job, hope you get a new one soon, or make enough with airbrushing which I guess would be the best solution! And congrats on getting the bike running, will have a look around your blog to see if you've finished it yet :) BTW your avatar won't be showing up because you're using a new email address from before (wordpress shows avatars for visitors by the email address they input) Hmmmm I don’t have the slightest idea why I never got an email regarding your comments!

Hope you get it sorted before winter sets in.. I know, it’s not just frustrating when the bike doesn’t run (or doesn’t run properly) - it’s painful! Hope you get it sorted before winter sets in..

But I guess there's not going to be a custom painted bike on our drive any time soon...

Anyway, I was just considering my options - ideally I would like something that can handle all the coats... Anyway, I'll probably just give the HVLP system a shot and let you know what happens. If it's crap, I can always just use it for other DIY stuff I guess. BTW, same thing for comments on your blog.. I don't really know how it works either way...

It is just protective layer, that you are gonna have to sand the crap out of so that it is smooth!!! The gun you would use for your base coat, that is a different story.. (sorry such a long wait for response, for some reason I can't get your comments to update me???) later n good luck!!! Hey girl,

Looking at what spraying equipment to buy, as our initial idea of using spray can primer kind of backfired on us (literally, as it dripped and spluttered all over the place!). So now we have two almost primed side panels, which need another coat, and a can of primer which somehow has no more air in it but still feels heavy.. Which leads me to believe that the cans are probably crap quality to begin with. (We did shake it for what seemed like forever before use, so that shouldn't be it). Have you ever tried using an HVLP spray system for this type of work? http://www.mptools.co.uk/products.asp?partno=HV3000 I was thinking about this one... Read on some car restoration forum that people have used it successfully for automotive paint, however without trying it out there is no way to be sure of course!
