So I need to paint the bodywork for my track bike and need a little advice. I don't expect to end up with a show bike, but I don't want it to look like I painted it with a rattle can either.
Question 1: Should I buy/rent/borrow a fancy paint sprayer, or can I get decent results with a cheap paint gun ? Anyone ever use one of those cheap "airless" HVLP units ? Harbor Freight sells one for $50 that you don't need a compressor for. Just plug it into 110volts and away you go. I'm guessing you get what you pay for, but is it good enough for a track bike ?
Question 2: Does the paint brand make a big difference? There are online places that sell a gallon of auto paint for $30. Is it worth buying top-shelf paint or is it all pretty much the same ?
