[QUOTE="brewfish, post: 35803, member: 550"] I got to say that this painting experience was much nicer than the rattle can experience. Heck dare I say it was even enjoyable. :D I used a 4" foam roller and a 2" paint brush for cutting in all the angles and tight areas. I gave the prime coat a quick wipe off with a tack rag and went to it. The paint went on nice, any brush strokes leveled right out. I only had a couple of runs before I figured out what I was doing wrong and from there on it was smooth sailing. I'll put on at least one more coat and maybe even a third. I didn't plan on painting the epoxy on the sides but of course it and battle ship gray are different shades so I painted it as well.
