Hey, thought I'd say hi. I joined because I got a wild hair thinking I could repaint a MTB I just bought. And, since I have never done that before I found BikeForums.net with good info to help me.

I used to race road collegiately and some USCF but then I had kids :) My oldest just learned to ride without training wheels though, so I bought that cheap, used, no-name (Active Bike Lines) MTB so I can keep up with him and pull his little brother around in the trailer. I didn't think riding trails on my road bike pulling the trailer would be be such a good idea and someday when I have more time, I will don my chamois' and jersey and get back out on the road.

Anyway, enough rambling and hoping to learn lots here about painting bikes.

Welcome, fellow Austinite.

As for the spray painting, perhaps this thread might be of use:

Hello xbrotherx, there's lots of info on painting bikes, including quite a few posts/threads by member Dr.Deltron. If you perform a search looking for just that name, you should be able to get some good tips.

Welcome to BF!
