Ok so I'm going to spray my frame with some automotive paint. I have an HVLP spray gun for my compressor, gravity feed, 0.055" nozzle, uses 40 PSI, 20.3 oz cup. I'm going to be using DuPont Acrylic Enamel paint for my frame, swingarm, and a-arms. Then going to heat cure the paint on with a heat gun.
Problem is, I dont get the whole thing with hardeners and reducers. I dont know what I need to mix with the paint to allow the heat-curing process. Ive been reading up on Automotive Forums, but everyone says something different about the proper ratios of paint:hardener or paint:reducer. I know Blaner works with automotive paint and he sprayed his A-Arms but I dont get what I have to do to the paint to allow the proper finish. Also, whats with clear coat? Some people say not to do it, some people say its a must and you have to mix reducers/hardeners to the clear coat in order to prevent "Orange Peel"ing of the paint. Any help appreciated, rep will be given to all that help
