Flat black spray paint out of the can. shake well -
Make sure the area is clean and dry and warmed to 70 or 80 degF.
If the paint can is cold - warm it too. Better to use multible
light coats - avoid heavy coats. You can handle it.

Jeff,
Test shoot a small area because you will find the paint may not stick, mine didn't so I had to do some cleaning with Naptha and a bit of sanding. Just a heads up.

Light sanding would be good, would help give the paint something to adhere to.

But then again, why am I telling you that. You're a painter!!!

Don- I know. Thats why I have such a hard time facing you. I will do it first thing in the spring. Promise! Whenever that is. Usually Wakefield is about a month behind Plaistow. But I'm there, all over that one.

Thanks for the heads up though. Prep-Sol in the autobody world. I can't do nothin' with paint until probably March in my Garage.

The more I think about it; I should have bought a new car. You guys got out cheap. What's that song " I'm over my head, over my head. But it sure feel nice" Fleetwood Mac?
