I rattle0canned my stuff, you just gotta take your time and it comes out pretty sweet. One word of advice for you fellow rattle-caners, paint all your stuff one the same day (colors) and but all the cans from the same place at the same time. I say this because my tail section came out a different shade of blue and I think it's because I painted it on a different day. I put the same amount of coats of primer and color, so it couldn't have been that. I think next time, I'm gonna buy some paint and go steal/borrow Quig's shit. Anyways, here it is.
Why dont you guys practise painting with real paint? Cheap auto paint for me costs me 50-60 bucks for a single color.
Cuz ya need at least two colors to get the number plates on. Last I checked, it ends up being like $150 to do a single bike after paint, clear, hardner, reducer, etc. Not worth it unless you're doing a bunch of bikes. At that cost I'll just pay someone else to do it.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. It is definitely just a matter of taking your time, (and having some good rubbing compound).
I have gun (Actually 3 of them), but as Adam said, I went to the supply store and after pricing the 3 colors of paint plus clear and the fact that catalyst only comes in gallons, it was going to cost like 200 +. The spray paint cost me around 50.00 total from Autozone.

thats what it cost me 150 to 200 bucks for supplies. but i use good paint that holds up, if it would quit tumping over.
spray cans lack a ggod hardner and seem to get sand blasted quite a bit.

What does tumping over mean.
BTW, I used auto paint in a can (Dupli-color truck and Van paint) Hopefully, it has a better hardner than run of the mill spray paint. If not...It is a race bike and I only need two good photo ops and one way or another, I'll probably end up painting it again for next season
heh, the rattle can job looks good. I'd been using Krylon and yea it does chiop easily. will try the Dupli crap next time, i got an upper, 3 lowers, one tail coming so they will need paint!
