Hey guys.

Anyone here got any good tips on painting frames?
I'm restoring an old steel tip-shop frame. I've stripped it back, and made sure there's no rust on it, and I've put on a couple of layers of automotive primer. Now I need to start the real paint job. I've heard automotive enamel is the way to go, and I have an air brush, but I have no Idea how to do decals.
I know about sanding with super fine paper between coats etc. And I should finish with clear coat, but any tips, or info on doing decals would be great.

Cheers,
Dave
