Painting project

[Leroy Eckert]

I know your post was for Don. Scuff it with ScotchBright and follow with
PrepSol. And be certain you do not use a can of silicone lubricant anywhere
nearby. Fisheyes will be the result. Just do not have that stuff in the shop.

has to go on very thin or it will run - less solids, so it takes 5
coats. The red takes 2, and the blue and silver take 3. Nason could
probably be considered "econo Imron" and it is not easy to tell how
they differ, since Imron has a couple of non-clearcoat products
(3500 and 400) as well.
