Well I see that aerosol is the paint of choice here!

I think more accurate to say paint of necessity.

JPG,
While I understand, it is hard for me to relate.

I work with paint for a living. I have access to MANY lines/varieties of paint.

I am in the process of putting up a home shop paint booth. Probably have 12 paint guns not including some ancient relics that I keep saying I should sell or toss.

And I just plain suck with a aerosol can.

So, a paint gun is my choice. LOL

Didn't you need to set it in the shade, to keep the temps down, Dusty?

Back when I was a kid, I was visiting my grandparents here in Mesa. (We lived in Silicon Valley, back then.) I was helping grandpa work on something, and we left (I think he did it on purpose to teach me) a pair of old, oxided pliers out. He had me get them.

I had blisters for a week or so.

Lesson was WELL learned.

Hey, he is 'simulating' a drying oven! Temp needs to be 'high'.
