So, in terms of spray technique, I misted then covered the whole frame in Gray's Inn, then misted and dripped the Battersea blue over the top, not worrying too much about slight drips. I'll get proper shots of this technique done tomorrow, but the photos don't do justice to the effect. One thing I'd recommend is if you're working in less-than-perfect light, get a torch/phone light out to check any spots you've missed; since I was spraying directly onto black with dark grey there were a few I missed, especially on the head tube and underneath the down tube. Tricky areas like rear brake junction and BB will need some care. Bear in mind too that if you're misting a lot of paint will gather on those areas that are privy to the laws of gravity, so the uppermost surface of the top tube, down tube and particularly welds will attract overspray.
