After spending the best part of two hours cleaning up all the overspray from the primer coats, I decided I would wait for a calm day where I could spray outside. Today, perhaps one of the hottest days there wasn't a breath of wind, so decided I would go for it...

AFTER
So the paint from spray.bike was a good idea and I didn't get any runs, which was a real bonus, however, not sure if it was my spraying technique or the heat, the finish was a real matt finish with a texture like fine sandpaper.
I did read that after 30 minutes you can flatten the finish with parchment paper, but I think this is where the heat was against me in that the paint had gone off really quickly.
To resolve this, I wet sanded and flattened the paint. So although I now have a smooth paint, it is a bit patchy. Looks like I will give this another coat, in the garage, this time making sure I cover EVERYTHING up with dust sheets...
