I have found that using spray cans works pretty good for the smaller projects, like the
engine hoist and
tow bar I fabricated. I, too, blasted the metal clean and then used aerosol paints for the finish. I would apply 4-5 light coats of primer, waiting about 10 minutes in between each coat to allow the paint to "setup" (but not dry). I'd then wait until the primer was completely dry before beginning the same sequence using the final color. On both projects the finish came out great (even though they are destined to get beat up with useage). Just my 2 cents on the topic, but I think there are better products available for the larger projects and I plan to do a lot of research for my C60 project.
Bruce,
Thanks for the description of how aerosol paints work. I liked the analogy to the screens
