Hey, I am planning on painting my frame and swingarm and touching up on a few bits.
I currently have a Lime Green Five-O frame and black swingarm. I am not a huge fan of the green and the swingarm has nicks and scratches on it and looks a bit shabby.
And my rear rim has quite a few scratches on it and when I am not riding it is very noticeable. I was thinking to lightly sand the frame and swing arm, then apply primer coat, and spray on some high quality paint, with maybe 4 coats. Then once dry spray on clear coat 2-3 times. And for the rear rim I was going to simply remove the wheel and tape up the spokes and give a few sprays then a clear coat.
I would just use rattle can spray paint. I have air compressor, but I am wondering if it is worth buying a pneumatic paint sprayer for it... is it?
Am I missing any crucial info? Good Idea?
Cheers
