How easy is it to do myself (no previous experience spray painting anything)?

What sort of paint needed?
Will I end up with streaky drippy lines everywhere?

How much does it cost to get LBS to do it for me?

    my lbs quoted about œ30 to respray a steel frame, so i guess anything from about œ25-œ40 would be likely.

    if i had a better signature, i'd use that instead
    riding on my bicycle, i saw a motorcrash…
  • You'll need an etch primer on aluminium or the paint won't stay on for very long.
