even instructions on the can say to put some "saran" wrap over the can when closingI high pressured sprayed the entire frame a dozen times before i painted. that was after I used dozens of cans of easy-off oven cleaner and wire brushed the frame ..... everywhere. I can't remember how much I used but if I needed more I'd just go to the store and buy more. i hand painted lots of little things. if you recoat you MUST scotchbrite/sand BEFORE you second coat. I used gloss on most of my bits and frame. the front end was dull black. I used cheap brushes 1'' & 2'' wide, some might not do that but I'm not cleaning good brushes w/ por-15 on them. just pick out the lost bristles or leave them. you really don't see them any way. make SURE what you paint is hidden from the sun as POR15 does NOT like sun and it will turn milky gray on you.
good luck and have fun.
after all it's just an OLDE TRUCK and nobody cares how it looks
they all just wave.
