Frame Painting???

[Diehard]

Ok so anyone who knows me knows I like to try my hand at anything rather than having someone do the same, but charge me more than I can afford.

Thus I quite fancy painting my frame / swingarm myself rather than powdercoating...

So has anyone done this before? It needs to be a match for the K4/K5 GSXR's frames, so a satin(ish) black finish....

I have no expirience with metal covering so I'm a bit baffled in terms of Acid etching and such like, esp since it's ally...

All help appreciated.

I sprayed the whole of my trackbike. Sand down the parts you want to do, spary with primer then top coat then lacquer.

I would get it powdercoated if you can. The paint does chip. Not very easily but it still chips, and not as strong as powdercoating.

It is a piece of piss. Just remember when you are spraying you need the can about 30 cm's away from the target area and less is more. It is easy to spray too much and cause it to run which is bad.
