Loudmouse,
Would you please briefly describe your painting process? It's been a while since I've done this, and I'm not sure I recall the whole sequence and the grades of wetordry paper to use at each stage. Thanks! --Randall

The paint I use is a 2 part paint.
I have a large blast cabinet and use sharp glass and paint as soon as I've completed blasting the rust and paint off the part. .............lm

Ok I can help with painting technique.
First, sandblast or paint-strip all the old crap off. Get the parts as clean as possible. Next, spray everything in a high-quality primer. Now use a block and some 320 grit to find the low spots and fix all the imperfections. Third, use a sealer to get a uniform color and protect the parts for longevity. Fourth, paint with your color of choice, IE silver. let dry and then wetsand with 1000 or 1200 to remove dirt nibs and imperfections. Finally clear coat, wetsand, and buff.
