I need to repaint my frame, oil tank, toolbox, petrol tank and probably other parts as well. It seems that the "best" sort of paint is two part polyurethane, but there are frightening stories of how poisonous this is, how I have to use a pressurised mask, and how much care must be taken when using it, which has put me off. I understand that I can use 1-part paint, but I've been told that if I use this on the petrol tank I will need to cover it with two-part lacquer, which gets me back into the same scenario. What is the recommended sort of paint that can safely be used at home by a careful DIYer? I can either brush paint or spray. Are there techniques that will allow me to use two-art polyU safely at home? Are there other sorts of paint that will do a good job but are safer (when I last got involved with this sort of thing, everyone used cellulose)? Do I have to get a professional to do it for me? More expense and less DIY satisfaction...
