Mike in  lobster land ----   cost of paint ?   and I mean GOOD paint ?

1. (one )each  Lobster  ---yes for what I pay for ONE     lobster-------a Rabbit can have
a really nice paint job.

This is the voice of experience  ---    I used gallons and gallons  ---yes some of it
on the Rabbit rims. -----I painted a 40 foot  highway trailer   among other things.

It was sold by Val-Mart as   " our best rust paint ".   Aluminium I used but they may have
other shades.

Airless Wagner gun    worked super.   Used many types of guns right down to
an air brush.

Be careful with solvents  ----the store told me to use Varsol  ----not too good --
so I talked to the maker of the paint  ---and they said stronger solvents  could be used.
Like toluene   ---etc    etc.

It was about half the price of   paint from SW.    I paid 25 a gallon.

If you like Silver ?   --there is your  answer.

Hagar.

PS :   remember the song  ---merrily we ROLL along roll along --give James Hansens roller
thing a try on an old fridge. ---------If you want a GOOD airless gun ? get a Krebs  made
by the COO - COO clock guys.   I got one and it is out of this world. (but expensive).
Hard to beat a roller for cost ? EH ? ---I saw a guy paint a Fleet Canuck  with a roller.

That   Lobsterfest ad on tv  is getting to me   ----Red Lobster  --is paying for it.   I would paint
a Rabbit for a couple of lobsters any day.    Note that with an airless gun you need no
thinning.
