Oh man, it's funny watching you guys try to spell CENTARI, haha.

I just stripped an ol cheapy lugged frame to bare metal, and painted it with enamel mixed at an auto paint store. They put it into a spray can for me. On the frame I used spray can etching primer, followed by high build orange primer. I wet sanded the high build with wet or dry 800 grit and soapy water. It is still soft, and was shot yesterday evening. I may get it baked at a local bodyshop today. I could tell the first time I pushed the nozzle down, this wasn't krylon crap.
It even smells like acrylic enamel single stage, since that's what it probably is. The best part? You can pick any color that came on a car as far back as their books go. That's quite a selection if you ask me, hehe.,,,,BD

Yes I painted cars in a former life
