My roommate actually got off work an hour earlier than he usually does, so he walked in 5 minutes after I finished painting..yes, in my living room. Hawaii is a windy place..there is no way I can paint outside..I was careful, covered the carpet with old blankets and sheets. But he still wasn't happy, even though I tried explaining how wind screws up a paintjob horribly. Oh well, it's all my stuff in the living room anyway, he just didn't like the smell.

I just kindof rushed through this, I realized while spraying that I didn't sand all of the primer good enough, but eh, I only used rustoleum spray paint, so I didn't expect it to be perfect. And yes the tank still has some dings, I'm mainly just trying to get my bike semi-presentable right now, so I didn't fill the dings and things. Yay! one more step to completion! 5 more to go :(

Bikes are made to be dinged I would not a worry to much about it. Get it going on the rode then detail it out step by step.
