Another thing, to prevent "runs", if possible paint on only a horizontal surface. With practice, it is possible to paint on a vertical surface. But, painting on a horizontal surface is definitely eas

Another spray can tip: they tell you to shake it for a minute after the agitator ball is free. That's not enough! Five minutes is better. It's also helpful to warm it it bit in some warm water first,

Although aluminum "requires" a "special" primer, I have had very good results just using the "el cheapo" ($1.12 per can) ColorPlace #20010 gray primer that I get at Walmart. Glen, K9STH Website: http

Hi Alton, Go the distance & pre-spray the project with aluminum/galvanized metal primer that's specifically designed for that sorta stuff... I never did that on a major project that I built here year

I have found that swirling the can for two minutes is better than shaking it for two minutes. Hold a new can at a downward angle and swirl it around in a small circle couple minutes in each direction

Best (absolutely THE best) primer I found recently is DUPLI-COLOR self etching primer. About $4 at the auto parts place but very worth it. Good for aluminum and synthetics as well as steel. Builds a

Notice also that the bottom of a spray can is concave. Pigment collects in the bottom of the can around the edge. Twirl the spray can in a circular motion so the mixing ball does a few laps around th

Short of taking a trip to a store check around your home. Wash it down with white vinegar and then rinse in cold water. Spray wheel cleaner will also do a good etch. Rinse quickly and thoroughly. The
