It's probably colder in MN in the winter than it is in Southern Ontario, Canada where I reside, but in any case spray painting is best done in warm weather, at least above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, (60 or 70 is even better). Unless you have some place indoors that is heated you will probably have to wait until next spring. Then it will be warm enough to ride again and no time left to paint.
Spray painting anything can be tricky. Most people use too much paint and end up with runs. A lot depends upon the type of paint you are using. Lacquer is the easiest to work with because it dries very quickly, but gas could stain it and lacquer thinners will soften it even when totally dry. Enamel is better but usually requires overnight to dry and runs develop a lot easier. Two part epoxy or automotive paints are the best, but I don't have any experience with them. You said you have a decent spray gun. Then you will have to experiment with different pressures as well as paint volume, again it can be tricky. If you decide to give it a try yourself, practise on something else first and then you could try it on the inside of the side covers first to see how it turns out. Good luck. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
