Hi Ken and others,

Roll on sounds like a better plan for me and even helpers then spray. 

Any tips on preparing the surface for best adhesion.
My current undercoating  is sticking well just getting thin or worn away in some areas.

I’ve made some errors in the past resulting in paint falling off a project.  Usually after using the wrong primer or not sanding between coats.  I didn’t know there was a wrong primer before that disaster.
