What style of painting to use?

If you get the Harbor Freight HVLP Spray Gun Kit and have a decent air compressor you can use the premix Dupli-Color. I did both the bikes in the first photo with Duplicolor and a spray max clear on top. The second two were standard enamel with spraymax clear. The Dupli-Color is lacquer but you can spray enamel over lacquer, just not the other way around. I hope this helps. Otherwise if you are looking for rattle bomb then tskaz is right on point. I want to point out that the Riader I just had to do the front fender and chin spoiler with paint. I had to clear the rest of the bike. It was my brothers and he hit a ditch. The red Harley was totaled and the first two where my bobber builds from neglected bikes. The orange one was mine and the white was a friends. I am currently working on a Sportster now and will have pics of that later today with black/blue flake mid coat. Take your time and prep, prep prep, when you thought you prepped enough prep again, then paint. Make sure you use a tack cloth to get all the dust and debris off before the first coat. Pay attention to flash times, let it do its thing and be patient. It really is not as hard as it seems, it just takes preparation and patience.

 

Where do y'all get spray max at??

 

NAPA carries it for $25 a can. Another note, when you pop the red button on the bottom to release the hardener make sure you shake the can for a full two minutes or it will not mix good. Maybe push the button a couple extra times upside down to make sure the hardener is released good and all gets mixed in.

 

I couldn't find it locally so I ordered it on Amazon. Your local hardware or paint specialty shop may have it also.

 

Thanks tskaz and 4freese!

I like that orange color!

 

It is duplicolor burnt orange metallic. Premixed. Just stir, strain, and spray. If you want a rattle bomb that color VHT Cooper orange it's the exact same.
