I used Nevr-Dull from Eagle One on the fork and the wheels of the bike to give them a nice shine. This step isn't necessary for refurbishing the bicycle, but it would help it look quite a bit better. It helps to feel the primer with your hands so you can locate any rough spots. This will help get a smooth final coat onto the bike. Once you have as many coats of paint as you want, sand down the rough areas with 400 grit sand paper very lightly. Once you have given it a good coat, wait about 30 minutes before giving it a second coat.
Dripping is what you do not want after you have spent all the time taking paint off of it. To prime, spray slow and long strokes across the bike frame until it is throughly coated, but do not spray so much that it drips. For my paint, I used a Rustoleum primer to paint my bike with. I used only the finest painting booth salvageable from parts lying about in my garage, a ladder, a blanket, and a tarp that is used for painting walls(it is used to keep paint from dripping onto floors). Now the bike frame should be ready to prime for paint. Before you can start thinking about priming, you must first tape off any part of the bike you do not wish any paint to touch at all.
