Still can't paint, but I can polish

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.
