The rig in question:
It was first painted flat white, then this configuration. It's all rattle-can, rough texture, peeling and fading.
I'm considering having the whole thing media blasted to get down to a better base but what problems could that cause? Would I need to primer the whole rig before paint or could I skip right to paint?
What inexpensive paint would work? I'd rather not mess with having to mix and or thin the paint - is there a ready-to-spray paint product out there? I don't wanna rattle can it again.
I'm not looking for a nice paint job by any means, I'm willing to use an HVLP gun outside in the driveway if need be. Or use those refillable spray cans. But I do want good adhesion and want to keep the fading to a minimum.
I figure I'd like to change the body color and probably keep the tube black. My initial thoughts were to paint the body first after prep, not worrying about overspray on the tube. Then after it dries, use thin mil plastic sheet (painter's drop plastic) and fit it all tight on the body then paint the tube.
The green is wearing thin with me - looking for something less dramatic.
