I assume some of you frame builders also paint your bikes….

Big sale on ONE SHOT at the local art supply store. Even more $$ if you are an instructor somewhere. The wine classes I teach count!!

Anyway, I've used one shot for filling in pantograph and it is awesome. Takes a day+ to dry before clear coat is applied, but what is time.

Anyway, at these prices, I'm wondering the following:

1, has anybody painted a frame with one shot.
2, one shot has some build in hardeners, but I suppose more could be added to quicken dry time plus UV protection
3, One Shot, as a paint designed for pin striping/sign painting (vertical) it is thick, thick like milk. Should or could it be thinned down?

I would borrow a friend's spray gun to do this if I do.

Hey, I called my local industrial coatings store and was quoted $160 for a PINT of the metallic violet I need. Then I saw this sale. Heck, add some metallics and go for it I'm tempted.

As always, I appreciate the expertise on this site.
