Well, the "Force be with me" side is saying single color. But, I don't know if I'm going to keep it for long when it's all done. More original might be a better choice if it moves on. Normally, I'd paint/build for me. Not so sure on this one.

as the rattlecan-approach never produced anything for me that i didn't want to strip down immediately, i invested in a mini-HVLP gun by Iwata - technically, it is designed for small surfaces like motorcycle tanks or helmets, so it is a good match for the surfaces on a bicycle frame, better than a "big" HVLP.
But its biggest advantage for me is that it does nowhere near the air volume of those and it is in fact factory approved to work with a rather small airbrush-type compressor. These are some of my first experiments with it. basecoat in Toyota pearl white fork, main colors applied (Mazda green, Mercedes blue) (finish clear coat still missing in all the pics, so it is less glossy that it will be) So far, i'm very happy about the control this setup gives me even with my absolute non-experience/skill in painting with a gun. Waterbased colours mean even the color changes are not as much of a hassle (cleaning-wise) as i had feared.

You might be pleased to know it's from Portland. I rode a credit card tour in the PNW last summer. A friend from Portland was the organizer and since all my bikes are old road racers, I came up with the cockamamie idea to save one way shipping and just buy a local bike. He picked this one off CL for me and built it up. First time a saw it was just a few minutes before setting off on a 400 mile tour through the Cascades!

Heron looks great!
What tires do you have on there?

Sorry for the Heron Hijak
I love that Heron touring. Here's my Heron road. You can't see it in the crappy cellphone pic, but the color is Bailey Falls Blue. It's a green/blue metallic originally mixed by GM for one of their GTOs I'm told.
