Black painting for the 4ksq

[Lawrence C Leung]

My favorite primer-free satin black is Rusteoleum Black Grille paint
(meant for things like cooking gas grilles). Works great on gas grilles,
too. Prep is entirely cleaning. Had to re-do my 4KQ's trim a couple of
time until I was able to really clean the surface.
