Painting Lugs, Help!
I've got a 75 Supercourse that I'm restoring as a winter project. After having the frame powdercoated, I decided to paint the lugs a different color, but after masking and priming them, they just wont turn out right.
Kind of tough to explain, but the paint won't settle evenly ... it looks course, flat, or almost speckled, instead of a smooth gloss which is what I'm looking for. Almost like there's a lot of dust under the paint (although I made sure to clean the lugs before painting.) I'm using spray-can hobby paint (gloss black enamel), which I've used on other applications before but never got this kind of result. After it came out crappy the 1st time I sanded, re-masked, re-painted, and it still looks bad. Any ideas before I go through all this work a third time? Thanks much.
