ok so heres the deal... this is my first bike, a GS450L i believe it's an 80... bought it from a friend for 100 bucks... not 2 bad i guess... runs really good... i put 40 miles on it going up and down our dirt lane that is a mile long... got it up to 50mph... ok so no problems with it running... now to my question... i can paint professionally... but seeing as how i only paid 100 bucks for the bike... i don't want to spend alot on paint... damn A.D.D i keep losing my train of thought... ummmm what was i gonna say?? oh i have a can of green metallic paint very awesome looking color.. i had gotton it for free from the paint rep. at work... so all i would need to do is get primer... and i have clear coat... i was gonna go with the spray bomb method... but i think i answered my own question... still i'll take suggestions... and does the paint from the spray cans hold up??? i've never really used them... i hope this makes sense to anybody that reads it... feedback would be greatly appreciated
