Can the parts be painted with spray cans or should I go ahead and anodize the parts and add pigment. And if it is possible to use spray cans which one do you recommend I use acrylics or body shop ones.
Anodizing the frame would be the best solution for yield and durability of the treated surface (the type of aluminum we use to make 1050 frames is 100 percent compatible with such a finish). Alternatively, it is also possible to color with traditional spray; the important thing is to give a light alloy primer that prepares the surface to accept most commercial spray enamels.
