Fantastic Job! I wonder if it would work on Fibreglas/Filon or whatever the Smooth stuff is!

I figure I will have maybe $150 into it when I am done
What kind of surface prep did you have to do?

Rustoleum will look great for about a year, but it will chalk with sun exposure. But I don't know of anything you can put on with a roller in small patches that works better. The best paint you can use would be something like a two part urethane aircraft enamel, but that stuff isn't exactly DIY friendly, must be sprayed onto a compatible primer which must go onto bare metal. Waaaaaay too much work for what you're doing. I've got rustoleum on some of my trucks.

I think that's called a "Red Neck 'Earl Scheib' paint job"! A case of beer and 6 cans of spray paint! But in ur case, you done it real purdy!

Actually some of your marine paints will work for the DIY guys. Some are made to be rolled on and then tipped in with a brush. I understand they can turn out pretty well. I personally have not had much success with Rustoleum. didn't even get 6 mo out of it. Fortunatly aluminum will survive much better though.

duplicolor automotive paint will go on with a brush or roller or spray gun but cost more for the paint,i sprayed mine with duplicolor lots of time and tapeing for around $400,cost almost as much for tape as it did for paint.2years now and still shiny.

Tractor Supply sells a line of industrial enamels that can be mixed with hardner, etc. I painted the loader frame on my tractor 10 years ago with it and still glossy.
