A few bits i sprayed
I have sprayed these parts so far in my loft as I don't have a shed or garage ,however I don't recommend it as I was buzzing me nuts off and it gave me a splitting headache.
So far I have put 1 coat on i am going to rub them down and give them another coat, then I shall rub them down again and lacquer them.
Not to sure on stickers as I can't make my mind up ,any thoughts?

I normally have that effect on women
I got a couple of runs on 1st attempt but i waited for it to harden and then rubbed it back down again . they are by no means perfect but i am going to coat them again, I think taking your time is the way to do it , i will post pics when it's all finished..

Re: A few bits i sprayed
Don't spry inside. you'll ruin your furniture, carpet, whatever. Not to mention your longs if not useing a mask.
Got a great tip for the guys who are home-sprayers.
Spray in the mornings when it is still a little moist. At that time there is near to no dust, no wind and no bugs/flyes.
It comes close to a spray environment.
Good luck!

No not quite. only grass, trees and leefs are damp. But the air is dry as will your fairings be.
Your not spraying when it is wet and rainy.
And a can will not collect that much moist from the surrounding air as a compressor would do (which has a filter for that).
