Need to get some paint. Does anyone have experience, is there a big difference between Tremclad Rust Paint and Professional High Performance Rust Enamel? Is one easier, more forgiving, smoother coverage? I don't plan on using separate primer, and prep work will be lazy.

If there's another kind you recommend, lemme know. I'm useless when it comes to paint

I would go with the professional. That other is oil-based

I would stay with enamels. The brand is not here in the Midwest us. Seems pricey for black. All in one paints spray heavy so more distance from the part and light strokes. They build quick. ✌🏻

That's the average price of paint in Canada

Spent a couple more hours with Goo Gone, WD40, the heat gun, and scraper, peeling off the stickers. Turns out, my thumbnail works best.
Hands hurt.
Still.
Not.
Done.
Yet.

Umm… “only until you’re old enough to shave, son.” If you’re under 10 or over 30, you understand, else, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Cheesy laughs are still good for the soul. 😄

Dad jokes are sad jokes.


My dad was a 6th grade school teacher. He had some fantastic "6th Grade Humor" that
would make us cringe. God, I miss him. Just gimme one bad knock knock joke and I'll be
fine again for a few years.

When I started pulling off stickers, there was a certain therapeutic aspect, like picking off scabs.

Matti? If you're picking off scabs with a heat gun you're a better man than I.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Yeah I spent more time with the stickers. Still didn't get them all off. It's not painting I hate, it's the prep work. If I would have left it as is, I'd be done by now, but I keep putting it off because I'm hating the process.
Therefore, change of direction. I'm not painting, it is going to get a tape bomb instead. We'll see what kind of fun stuff I can find. It's a tiny bike, maybe see how far I can make an automotive "carbon fiber" sticker pack go

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Things are definitely happening over here. The project is certainly not dead in the water.

Applied 3 quick coats of apathy. Didn't even clean it or remove all the sticker remnants, just blasted right over it all.
Dad joke: why do they call primer the musical paint? Because it's DGAFGrey

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Sprinting to the finish line now. Mechanicals are soaking in WD. The tape bombing has started. I'm freestyling now. Ideas executed as they occur Expect some pink to remain, some silver foil, some "carbon fiber" and the primer grey.

Krayzee indeed
