What painting equipment does everyone using to paint their tins? The gas tank is always the hardest. I know Harber Freight has a number of sprayers.
Thanks.

Who do you use to do the painting? How much do they charge to paint an XS2? Thanks. BillI use someone else . Only painted one bike for my stepson several years ago, to add hardbags and batwing to a numbered paint set, flame job at that. Turned out ok but since I've always paid someone else for the expertise and proper equipment.
That said the HVLP systems generally have less overspray than a conventional pressurized sprayer, and I like the top canister paint sprayers, they're typically smaller, ample for general bike work, which makes them lighter to handle and more nimble to use.

This is very important ! When wearing a good mask you should not be able to smell the paint. The catalyst in two-part paints like Imron is an isocyanate, a chemical directly related to cyanide and therefore deadly. I also recommend getting a copy of "The Paint and Body Handbook" by authors Taylor and Hofer and published by HP Books. In it is a wealth of information on painting and such. It will make a fine addition to your library and is not expensive.You'll also need a good quality breathing mask as paint solvents will rip yer lungs out if you inhale 'em
I still paint for a living and DeVilbiss Starting Line and Finish Line guns are an excellent value. No it's not a Sata or Iwata, but they will lay out a very good finish.Just looked at that Amazon gun. Looks like they now come with the cup that has the pop off lid. Bonus.
