£15 for a cannister of the paint (would this do just the one bike or more?) and £40 for the paint gun, so £55 to get started, that's about what it would cost to get one bike (shot blasted) and powder coated? Even if it does take a whole canister to paint one bike you could do three bikes for £85, five for £115, so for beaters or polo bikes this could be very cost effective. Downside is that on top of this you'd still have to pay to have the frames shotblasted or have to strip/prep them yourself. And you weren't joking when you said there was only a limited range of colours, black, white, blue and green. That's it!
