Also, I can paint a bike, with a brush, in the kitchen with no fear of getting paint everywhere.
I've read your pages on brush painting. The sanding part scares me because I tend to be impatient. On the other hand, I had to do a fair bit of sanding with the last bike I spray painted. I've found that with spray I can get away with no sanding (after the initial surface prep) if I'm careful about distance and speed of movement. I'll probably give brush painting a try at some point. Your results are certainly beautiful.
