Thinking of painting my bike
I need to do mudguard, belly pan, tank, tail.
I have basically zero experience with spray-painting. (Cans excluded).
I can borrow the equipment.
I could pay an expert but money is a consideration. I understand I'm in for around $700 to get it done professionally.
I also believe there are very few things one should not try to do oneself. Learning is making mistakes.
It doesn't have to be perfect (she's an old bike), but I don't want to make a complete muck of it either.
Questions:
If I value my time at zero, and the equipment is free, how much am I likely to save doing it myself? (Basically, what's a good budget for cost of materials?)
How much time is it likely to take to do this?
What is a reasonable budget for sandblasting, assuming I don't sand it all by hand (to save time)?
I realise I am crazy and should get a pro to do this. Can't do it soon if $700 is the price though. I just want to make an informed decision.
Bling (and thanks in advance) for all help...
Redefining slow since 2006...
