    Progress.....

     



    Just playing with some spray paint,not bad for 10 bucks and a little wet sanding with 600 c ,then 1000 fine and wiped it off with a clean t-shirt
    I just may paint it using this method for some protection untill I can have it professionally painted.Its better than primer I think it looks good considering its a spray bomb............
    Theres plenty of light and dark spots/tiger stripes,this was just a test to see if it would even pass as paint................I will do a better job now that i know it will look decent/acceptable.

    A rattle can trigger is a good investment for this job. I've got a couple layin' around here for the occasional aerosol job. Sure saves the index finger. LQQKs good. I'd like to see the finished job.

    Theres plenty of light and dark spots/tiger stripes
    Are you using the 'fan' nozzle type product?
    That should help eliminate striping.
    DupliColor products have a really good spraying nozzle.
