2 weeks to dry after clear coat? I heard that one 12 oz. can should do the job. I mean I'm not sure if I can do it given my location and what I have to work with(no buffing equipment either)... I'll see what my LBS says.

also I am not stripping the paint off of the frame. Is that an issue?

UPDATE: Well it looks like I'm on my own as far as painting goes; the LBS doesn't do paint. I'll get started on thursday or friday and will post pictures soon of my frame as it is now and continue every step of the way.
