I have got a frame that is in need of a paint job. After doing one last year with spray cans I now know that doing a proper job this way is probably more expensive that sending the frame of to be powder coated. Not to mention that the finish although looked very good was not at all durable and will chip off if struck by candyfloss.
This time I intend to try old fashioned paint and brush. I expect this to be far cheaper and much more durable. Also I am not averse to having a slightly rustic, hand done look to the bike as it will discourage theives.
Can anybody recommend any particular kind of paint to use along with undercoats and primers if necessary. I am tempted to try hammerite so would like to know if this is a stupid idea. (If it is then I'll probably end up doing it)
