Bikes: Too many Bicycles to list

I want to paint my own stuff so bad but still a little scared to pull the trigger, after seeing some of the bikes Solar painted and asking him about what he uses I bought two full size guns, two touch up guns and even a gun for spraying metal flake, got mixing cups and strainers and even hangers for the guns. I already have a 80gal compressor, a sand/glass bead blasting cabinet big enough that a motorcycle frame fits in, water separator & filter, bags of extra fine metal flake in a ton of colors and rolls upon rolls of painters tape and a good selection of wet n dry sand paper. The one thing I don't have is a indoor spot for painting and I know from years of experience that I suck at body work lol. As others have said it's all in the prep work, cause painting is easy it's the prep work that's not lol. The one thing about the Harbor Freight spray guns is that you will need to take them completely apart, clean them with lacquer thinner and do some tweeking to them before you try and run paint thru them as they are loaded with silicon when you buy them.I was going to try the ready to paint Duplicolor automotive paints & did buy a quart of the clear to try spraying the flake with but just can't get up the nerve to actually paint something with it.
