    I know what you mean, I don't have a booth either, and there is only so much you can expect shooting outside.

    You might want to at least shoot flattened enamel on it, because primer sucks up moisture and really won't protect the metal underneath. Plus, primer shows every little spot and won't clean up well.

    Depends on which type of primer you are using. To my knowledge, an epoxy primer works as a good sealer. But, I would go with a sealer and flat paint as you suggested.

    Shawn, mine is in primer for the same reason...when I get enough money, I'll have it painted. Who knows, I'll probably go with a flat black paint...but, the color keeps changing...I'll know for sure when I get the money for a paint job

    As to the roller paint jobs, there was an article in the July issue of Hot Rod magazine on the same topic.

    98% of a good paint job is in the prep. If you are doing a very good job on the prep, someone like Macco can give you a good spray, at a very good price.
