Anyone who's done their own spray painting.

Yeah I re-wrote it cos my rush of a fist reply really didnt make much sense.
I meant the compressor will be handy for the airtools, not that the skill of painting will be handy for enduros.
I wouldnt think people really care about appearance with enduro the mud surley makes a paint job redundant anyway lol.

Prep, prep, prep.
Prep must be 100% flawless or the paint will just show it up better.

Tack cloth or similar prior to paint.
Primer, light sand before top coat.

Lots of thin coats, dont try and get good coverage straight away
Always clear coat everything afterwards as it protects and shines better.

Getting air pressure, paint flow right takes practice and its not easy.
Too much air pressure will result in orange peel effect.


Please note, Im not an expert, just done a bit for myself with decent results.
