Re: Rustoleum?

I am currently in the process of spraying a couple of panels. I am using reustoleum high gloss black. I had solid panels to begin with so i scuffed up the old paint real good and applied a couple of coats of rustoleum primer....sanded the primer and then shot using a compressor and harbor freight gun. I am thinning the paint 30% with acetone, thats about double as reccomended on the label. I like to thin down to a Skim milk-like consistency. Also, I have learned that the spray pattern and quality of atomization of the paint is crucial in preventing orange peel. If this is your first time using a spray gun as it was mine...it's basically a trial and error deal in order to find your guns optimum spray pattern. I'll try to post some pics if i get a chance. Overall I am pleased with the result I am getting with rustoleum. If your truck is a daily driver or weekender like mine is I think you can't beat this paint for it's afordability and durability.
