Waited for 30 mins (it is said on the can "touch-dry after 10 mins")

Nice! I wish it was not so dusty on my balcony :shakes:
Color differs a bit from powdercoating, but still rather good. Powdercoated one is shinier (both colors are matt black) and grainier.

to cut down on dust, first sweep it best you can,Quote:

of course if it is windy, then the solution is useless.
my 2¢
I was like "May be I should use bathroom for paintjob? No, my GF will kill me for that", now I know how to make a bathroom out of my balcony :D thank you! :up:Quote:

I tried that, put a big cardboard box in the bathroom, and put the parts inside, and sprayed away...Quote:

lucky for me the paint particles were dry when they landed, but what a mess.
took a couple hours to clean that one up...
just joking :)Quote:

well the paint job did turn out pretty good.
can live without the mess.
Looks good there GK, I do like the look you got from the can.
If only it lasted like powder coating.
The idea about weting down the ground before you paint is correct and also very useful.
We used to hose down the concrete floor of the paint booth when the extractor fan was not working to help keep the dust down.
Looking sweet :)
Love the new look! Your new project name perfectly captures it.Quote:
