I used a wire wheel on an angle grinder, wire brushes, and a pressure washer to prep the frame. Wiped it down with acetone right before painting. I used Rustoleum implement paint low gloss black. I applied with a small sponge roller, a 2 inch regular brush, and maybe a dozen sponge brushes. A rattle can saved the day for those hard to get places. It was pretty shiny for low gloss. I’m not unhappy, just a little surprised. I thought it would be a little flatter. The axle was really smooth so I used self etching primer for it. I’m super happy with how it looks!
