Well let me start off by saying that This seems like a great site with alot to be learned. And now a little info about what I am wanting to do. I am verry new to the painting world I have done a couple rattle can paint jobs on some friends motorcycles and last week one of my friends and I decided to give it a try with the real thing and needless to say there is alot more to it than I had ever imagined. We did end up doing a pretty good job on it (I think). And while we were doing his I also decided to paint mine as well. I have decided to go with a flat black and I havent been able to find much info on how to go about it. the thing I am most worried about is being fuel proof. So here is my question wince I am verry new to paintingwhat would be the easiest way to go about this? Can I just get any black basecoat and get a flat clearcoat? Do they even make a flat clearcoat? what is the easiest type of paint to spray? The gun I am useing is just a cheap siphon touch up gun I found at Harbor freight for $20.00. I know it isnt the best but it did a pretty good job for the bike we did last week. I am also not wanting to shell out $300-$400 on a bunch of top of the line paint since I am a newly wed on an alowance

BTW sorry for the long post and the bad spelling and gramer.

I push NAPA's martin seynour satin black when ever I can. It does a great job, is easy to use, and the price is right. No need to clear because it is urethane and if let dry for several days before putting into operation is fuel resistant. Are you going to try to spray with a touch up gun?

I was planing on it. Is there something wrong with that?
