See if there is anywhere near you that sells Montana MTN 94 graffiti spray paint. It’s so easy to lay down and if you let it cure for long enough it becomes really resistant. Well, at least somewhere between a wet paint and a powder coat.
Do many thin layers with a decent distance and it will become a bit matte. You can use 2K clearcoat afterwards, but do a test to make sure it doesn’t dissolve the paint.

Give it to a pro for base, posca then Hycote clear?

Patience is growing very thin on YT Capra project.
After the powdercoater did a shitty job on the alu parts and shitty job at spraying the carbon stays I decided to drop the frame to a friend of a friend who is a spray painter to touch up the shitty bits and respray the shitty carbon bit. After they were dropped to him I found out he has exams on and wasn't going to get around to it for a fortnight.
Three weeks later it turns into "I won't get to it until next Wednesday at best and I'm snowed under"...
So I take back the frame and decide to go a different route with the finish. I have a spray can from the powdercoater and I decide to have a go myself, I've sprayed bikes before and while not going to win any awards at Bespoked they've been certainly passable... the shit in this can is like a heavy sneeze, I cannot get it to give a decent finish without dribbles all over. It just comes out crazy heavy.
Now I'm undecided as to whether I go and buy some more cans and continue or do I leave it with the chap who's painting my Koga Miyata and just spend the money to have a good finish on it? Worse again, I've ordered some Posca paint pens to do some designs on it and if I go with Good Painter I'llhave to get him to lay down a base coat, take it back, do my stuff and then drop it back for clearcoat...
Bloody annoying.
