I still can't paint a level clearcoat to save my life, but I have been able to buff out most of the orange peel. I know that there is a bit of an equipment issue here, a $30 spray gun from Lowes is simply not going to give me the best results on an intricate painting project like a bike. I would also do a better job if I could stand fully upright in my basement, or heck, even build a real paint booth. both are going to have to do for the next couple of years though. Ugh.
I've spent probably 4 hours wet sanding the frame and getting the texture out of the paint, and another 2 in buffing it. Maybe I'll call it done and get some pictures taken this weekend. That's the plan at least.
