What I need to paint is a tank / seat cowl combo (as well as an engine and some spare parts).
I'm having a hell of a time deciding between using real automotive paint in a spray gun or a rattle can job with a 2k aerosol clear like Spraymax. I have a decent compressor so my only expense would be the spray gun if I were to go that route.
I'd like to do a 2-tone paint job, so that means at least two quarts of base coat (or can I buy less than a quart?).
I don't mind spending a little more for a better finish, I'm just worried that I'll be paying extra for paint I don't need. Whereas with rattle cans, you buy an extra one for $6 instead of a whole quart.
If it was your money, what would you do?
