Paint

Tempting to get a compressor & spray gun.. but I'm looking at a min of £100

By the time you have bought primer, top coat and a clear coat if needed, plus wet & dry to rub down between coats you'll spend that £100 and some more again.

I did a motorbike in my youth!! and it cost over that to do a tank, front mudguard, and two side panels.

I'm a bit confused then. Won't I still need to apply primer, top coat (polyurthane stuff), & clear coat if I use the spray gun so I'm still shelling out for all the paint + the spraying equipment in this case vs just buying the primer, top, & clear in spray cans?

A litre of paint put through a good spray gun will go a lot further than a 2x500ml spray cans. Plus the finish will be a lot better.
