Wow thanks, Doctor! I'm glad you were able to give me all those specifics! I'll definitely find that stripper and primer! I'm still sort of inclined to go with a 'rattle can' paint job just because I know the Ace down the street has lots of brand variety and what not but I guess I could try to find the Duracoat. I don't know of any auto supply shops but I'll look around! Thanks again! Great info!
