Sick paintjob man, mines got rustoleum camo series "deep forest green" with an inexpensive quick dry flat black paint for the stripes. I personally like the black paint better. I can't tell you how many times I've had to touch up the green. Now the green looks ratty. anyway, pic:

only one heavy coat..and it is still holding up to this day, it has seen a rough winter and many..many times threw the bush, and the last time i had it out, she beat her way threw a trail that got hit hard from a intense storm the night before..i heard the trees digging into the paint and it came out with a minor scuff in it (not a scratch) ..this paint is amazing
indeed that is a CZ 250, i acquired it through a death in the family, i really don't know a whole lot about dirt bikes but when i gave it a kick (just to see what would happen) it felt like there was absolutely no compression, i'll fix it up one day, but for now, she sits tarped chained to the deck awaiting that day, its something neat to have

As you all know I am VERY intersted in this thread since I will likely be doing a roller paint job as base coat (rust red) and then shades of dark red, grey, and black with rattle can. (Probably http://www.aervoe.com paint.

i have a question, obviously with the urban camo if you wanted the white to be the predominant color you would lay down the white first, but how do you make it easier to mask off the grays and blacks...using just blue painters tape would make for a really blocky look. i know they make really thin tape to do masking with, but that doesnt help when your spraying...

Rattle can is great for those that don't have access to a compressor and sprayer....I ran flat black on my '84 for 4 years..the mrs. gave me a nice paint job for x-mas...than the the truck became a dent magnet.
Just take your time doing it using some good stuff the folks have mentioned...

But always be careful when it comes to fumes, Last thing you want is a killer headache or hospital visit to go along with your new paint job.I found out the hard way spraying some flames on my old Isuzu at the 2am in garage, I thought that little bit wouldnt hurt anything but I was hurting quick

1-stage urethanes have the same problem as the catalized 2-stage urethanes. What you need to do is see if the paint contains any isocynates in the ingredients (e.g., toluene diisocyanate or 4,4,1 diphenylmethane diisocyanate).
Roll-on urethane is less of a problem than spraying, but paint containing toluene diisocyanate can be hazardous even when rolled-on.
The recommendation when working with urethane paint is to use a full face mask with a fresh air source supplied to it.
