I was just given an industrial air compressor (amglo 30gal, 1.5hp, single stage, oil, 6.5 cfm [MENTION=136541]125psi[/MENTION]). The thing weight 200lbs. i have a '74 varsity that it pretty chipped up. I am going to media blast it and then spray it over the winter. The bike was free (same person that gave me the compressor, who was moving out of state) it is in rough shape and doesn't have much value as it is. Painting it lets me play with the compressor.
I painted a car with my uncle in the mid 80's. But he was a professional body man, we shot it with lacquer I don't think that is easy to get. I and decent with a rattle can. I painted this bike a few years ago. I sold it so no idea how the paint held up.
