So I'm looking into painting my bike using spray paint. I have a choice of either lacquer or enamel type. I hear lacquer is better, but there's not much color available. Does lacquer have particular properties that prevents manufacturers from providing more varied colors? I checked out Krylon, Duplicolor, Plastikote, Rustoleum and their lacquer lines of spray paint only cover the grey shades.
*pimp slaps Nick* be nice man anyway.. is there a local bike shop nearby? You might can drop by and ask them what they think. They surely can recommend something.
spraypaint :blackeye: You man! I recommend that you use normal high gloss as a first coat, then when it dries, heat the paint with a hairdryer to harden it. ( you do not want to cook the paint, just heat it s bit.) then spray on metal enamel., a thin layer of transparent gloss usually keeps your paint job safe for a while, plus if it scratches, it's the reansparent layer that goes off. Good luck man.
