I used regular spray paint you find in the hardware store. I used camoflauge paint cause that's the scheme I was looking for. I just painted over the old paint. Didn't do nothing other that a good washing and wiping down. Taped everything off cause I was too lazy to remove the components. The picture below is of the fender after completing it today, but the paint on the frame and rear rack are a year old and holding up good.



THE PICTURE BELOW WAS TAKEN A YEAR AGO. THE PAINT IS STILL HOLDING UP GOOD, A FEW NICKS HERE AND THERE. THE PAINT ON THE PUMP DID WEAR OFF AFTER SIX MONTHS. IT JUST DIDN'T BOND GOOD WITH WHATEVER ITS MADE OF. BUT THE FRAME IS ALUMINIUM AND THE PAINT IS HOLDING REAL GOOD ON THAT. I IMAGINE A STEEL FRAME WOULD BE THE SAME.
