Oil based spray paint

[Kickstand3]

I wouldn't bother unless you have access to a spray booth , It will take so long to dry that you risk a bunch of dust landing on it before it does.

Or a bug or something, then you have to strip it down again. What a nightmare

Unless the paint is free, I'd think about other paints.....
You haven't said what your experience is with painting... Paint that doesn't dry very quickly can be a pain, especially to a novice..Just my 2 cents..

I have to ask what you are going to paint and what Gillespie Coatings product are you planning on using. Using an oil base paint that can be applied with a brush or roller most always has a slower drying time and if thinned with paint thinner it extends the drying time. The type of alkyd product makes a huge difference. I read some of Gillespie's data and they have different products for different applications. I shoot an industrial acrylic oil base enamel at work that is supplied by the company that makes our machines and that stuff dries to the touch in 15 to 20 minutes with no hardener. After an hour I can pick up that item I painted and install it on the machine.

A 1945 Columbia . Trying to build a Navy Tribute bike of that era . I have collected all the correct parts.
Spray paint in 11 OZ can . Flat Navy Gray . I have worked at a body shop doing prep work but we had our on sprayers .
This is US Made and is the super high quality Gillespie Coatings brand. This is oil based enamel. This is the top of the line and the paint all the serious collectors and the US Military Museum systems use. Just ask any of the serious collectors or military vehicle restorers about the Gillespie Brand.
The bike would not be a display bike but something I would ride on the beach during the 4th and Veterans day .
Question was .
Has anyone had success using a oil based spray paint and primer ?

Thank You

If you're set on this paint, just find something to practice on first....
I always spray on these first to insure proper paint flow, and to check color.....They are small as not to waste a lot of paint....
