>Recently I was given an HVLP sprayer. Previously, I've painted
>frames by spray can, with good success, but now I'd like to take
>advantage of the greater versatility that this sprayer offers.
>Problem is, I'm not sure what kind of paint to use or where to get
>it.

>I have the following requirements:
>
>1. Not too difficult to apply successfully.
>
>2. Reasonably rugged and chip resistant.
>
>3. Good color selection would be nice, but I'm willing to mix
>colors, if necessary.
>
>4. Readily available.

>I stopped by a local industrial paint store a couple weeks ago, and
>they recommended a fast-drying industrial enamel that they stock.
>Unfortunately, it was available only in gallons and in primary
>colors, so it wasn't terribly practical. People have also
>recommended Imron and epoxy paints, but these sound difficult to use
>and probably should wait until I have a little more opportunity to
>experiment.
>
>I'd also be happy to hear of any tips or suggestions you can offer.

>My plan is to experiment with a test frame, a late-80s Giordano I
>rescued from the trash. Then, if all goes well, I'll do my early-50s
>Olmo. I don't intend to try anything fancy, just simple, solid
>colors.
>
>Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
