Grey came out bluer than I wanted, but it'll be one color. Of course, I realized that with color on the foot, the leg now needs attention. Time to start tearing that down now...

Scott, What clear coat did you use?

That's what I used Trey and it turned out great. Make sure you have a good coverage with the clear coat if subjected to fuel the paint will start to peel. Looking good!!!

Is it warming up your way Jabe?
Sounds like you are skating on thin ice?????

most stores carry them, i had to start buying them when the missus found all hers from under the sink had gone missing.......

Haven't found my color yet... Just that it's a light grey. I'll have to go through the Rust-Oleum isle and find one. Not too worried about perfection, it was just mostly bare metal with some primer yellow green on it. Now it's at least all one color and clean.

Where do you get the scotch Brite pads? Big box stores? Hardware store?
