I like the paint job. Can you post more details on the paint you used? how did you apply it?

I used industrial alkald... Sorry cant spell it... Its oil based paint used to paint machinery... I tried to thin it out and used an air sprayer, but I put on 4coats and still could see the primer so I broke out the airless and that worked well, a few runs but nothin major, took bout a week to cure out in the sun id roll it iut during the day and rill it in at night to keep the dew off it, its far from show quality but hey the paints tough and its a hooptie bought the paint at a do it best hardware store
