This is (was) my current paint curing oven (yes, there is a story behind it...)

Originally posted by nvr2old View PostYa know, Bill, the only time I used an airbrush was for doing murals. I did a ton of them back in the seventies. l also used one for blending the colors in flames. I stopped using mine when I got into restoration painting, and discovered that using a really nice small detail gun serves me real well for bike parts. I kinda miss it, though..especially full size van murals. No detail guns back then, though. You can really dial them down to almost the same fan size as an airbrush.
Murals in the 1970s? Back in the mid 70s I was in art school and I remember a visiting artist showing slides and telling about all the mural projects he organized in Chicago neighborhoods.1982 GS1100G- road bike

Here's a quick pic of the one I use. It's cup is big enough to actually hold enough paint to lay a coat or two on most tanks. Great for touch ups and stripes. I think I paid about 125 dollars for this one, but you can buy really inexpensive ones that are OK at Harbor Freight for about 35 dollars, too.

I should've put a normal gun or a match book next to it.... It's actually about 1/2 the size of a standard paint gun. Very light and delicate feeling in your hand. Not sure what the tip size is, I'd have to look, but it'll spray a fan about 4 inches wide down to a spray pattern about the size of a nickle. I do all my stripes with it. It allows you to mix up such a small amount of paint and then takes it a long way.Last edited by nvr2old; 07-18-2019, 04:29 PM.1979 GS1000S,

Spent last weekend block sanding all 9 parts. Guide coat for everything.
The Moto Guzzi fairing needed a bit of spot filler.
Only needed to guide coat the worked area of the S fairing.
Also needed to prime the back sides of everything this go round.
Looking better every time they're primed and hit with finer and finer sand paper.
I'm totally stoked with how the inside and outside of the Guzzi fairing is turning out.
