I have been doing some extensive touch up on a 1970s bike with 1 shot paint in robin's egg blue and a small brush. There does not appear to have been a clear coat originally. The paint is matching the original color VERY well, but I have so many scattered and deep nicks that they are proving difficult to wet-sand down smooth. So, I am thinking of getting an airbrush. But airbrushes are new to me, and look complicated, with lots of different choices and options, so I would appreciate recommendations on types, brand, or features to look for. I have been looking at some inexpensive sets at Harbor Freight, and from a San Diego company named TCPGlobal on ebay (couple of links below). My basic thinking is to not strip the entire frame, but just smooth it down with 600 grit paper, and then re-spray several thin coats over the old (1970s) paint, and then wet sand and polish with polishing compound, apply new decals and wax.


Again any suggestions on whether this is a viable path forward, and equipment to use, or what features to look for, would be appreciated. Thank you!
