I heard about paint rollers being used for applying rustoleum paint and i thought I could eliminate a bunch of sanding by spraying the paint instead. I started to today by spraying rustoleum white baremetal primer. It worked out great, I reduced the paint with thinner until it was like milk. I turned the pressure regulator on the compressor to 30 psi and made the fan a bit smaller out the gun. I got nearly complete coverage the first time around.
I plan to apply two more coats of primer to smooth things out and then block sand with 400 grit.
Then I applying semi gloss adonized bronze rustoleum color. I intend on lightly sanding but not buffing out to a shine, just enough to accept the ppg urethane clear I'll be putting on top. Urethane and enamel are compatible so I shouldn't have much problems there. I then want to wet sand the clear out to a clean shine.
