Makes me think paying to get it done is a. Safer, b. Cheaper considering purchasing all the kit and c. Likely a better job

I only did it myself as I had lots of painting to do..... also, some bikes just don't justify a pro paint job financially ... the CB250RSA being a prime example.

Whilst we talk about DIY painting - anyone used a LVLP spray gun as opposed to the HVLP ones. I've have always used the latter but gleaned the former maybe better for smaller items.

Not sure Matt ...mine are Devilbiss SRI Prolite mini guns with TE5 caps. Luckily the needle is the same for both the 1.2 & 1.4 fluid tips I have.

As I need to do a bit of spraying in a month or so, I'll get a LVLP gun and see if there is much difference. I know I already use a 1.4mm nozzle.....
