Thanks for the encouragment!
Took the bonnet camping yesterday as the weather was good.

It has been sitting in the shed for a few weeks now in bare steel (with a coat of easyphos to temporarily stop it from rusting). I finally got around to ordering some rattle cans of 2K epoxy primer.

These SprayMax cans are those 2 part ones where you pierce an inner chamber in the can to mix the paint and hardener. Pot life once mixed is 8 hours at 20C.
This took a can and a half of high fill just to paint the top (the underside is already coated in KBS black).

So what to do with a half can - find more things I have stored and put some paint on them. This took a can.

Then I did the front passenger door outer and the bottom and top frame of the drivers door that I just repaired. 4 cans in total. Last can stopped spraying paint with at least 50 mls in the can (I weighed it) which was annoying, but overall pretty happy with the results.

an expensive but convenient way to do it - I need to paint the rims for my ute this weekend, bought a litre of primer the other week then put it somewhere safe, do you think I could find it ??????? :econfused: :econfused: Found it on Thursday night, figured I would buy more yesterday if I couldn't find it so I had ANOTHER look through the shed and there it was - right where I had left it :roll:

I have used a few of them in the past they are super handy for touch ups and little jobs - got some when I rebuilt the car trailer and they still worked for 3 or 4 days - admittedly in winter.
