Be aware that 2k paint is very dangerous, it contains isocyanide :blink:

I get some decent results with cellulose paints

I use a small HVLP spray gun its very good for bike parts, you can get the cellulose paint off ebay or a local paint supplier

Use anti-bloom thinners & jet-black paint for the frame.

Make sure you prep well with wet & dry and a good coat of primer first

Use a spray gun like this, better than cans and lasts years! gun

try your local motor factors,if they dont have they should be able to tell you where.

Personally I'd get it powder coated. It's a little more expensive than having it painted, but I had my Beezer frame done in 1992 and it's still good. As has been pointed out, 2 pack is in fact deadly dangerous. I'd avoid using it without proper safety kit.
