What color did you use? I am going to paint mine with it in a few weeks. Here is a pic of a friends truck after he painted his with it.

Did anybody read that article in Hot Rod Magazine about the sprayed Rustoleum Satin Black paint job? I looked it over in line at wally world. Gotta be the cheapest way for a hot rod black.

Hey just an fyi, i used some high heat grill paint that rusto makes on my radiator support. I thinned it out with mineral spirits (i think.  But it gives a suggestion on the can. ) and sprayed at about 30psi. Came put smooth as a babys forehead. It is a little wimpy when it comes to scuffs and scratches so i coated it with the duplicolor clearcoat engine enamel. Which is also high heat. Rustoleum is pretty awesome stuff.

I learned one thing from  a good friend. That is if you prep the surface good you can lay down a smooth paint job with some rustoleum. He has painted some engine bays that look as good as anyones.
