I want to try painting a few pieces on my bike. This year the goal is just to get her running not pretty. Given the goal I was just going to use good old Rust-o-leum but I can't find anybody with much of a selection. I have been trying Auto parts stores so far. Any U.S. guys have any ideas on good places to get some different colors of paint?

Love the 2k clear...lots of prep and some wet sanding and you can pro results from a rattle can. All available at my local NAPA store. Did some lace work and some scallop work last year.

I knew I should have brought back my 70's Tracy fiberglas works catalogue, it's got pages of colour pictures of the styles of paint they could put on their products.

inxs, I'm starting to think you really the selvedge yard!

As far as paint goes, if it's something I want to look good or care about, I pay someone else to do it!
