Spent all weekend putting primer on with a brush. An hour and a half tonight and this is all the top coat I got on. Roller didn’t cut it. The blue looks good though, kinda dark but it’s only for the workout/shop/garage part and it’s something different. Too much work and too many fumes - goin’ to bed. ---

I would have just left it the natural color. I like it better in IMO. And actually you should try using a wagner paint sprayer. I had to repaint the inside of mine about 4 weeks go and had one coat put on in about 90 min 😃 ---

might want to try one of those heavier rollers. they aren’t foam and have plastic loops on them. you shouldn’t have to use a brush on the whole thing ---

> [@BlkP42E](#): > > all that workout equiptment and you are still only 74lbs ☹ :finger: Just think what I would weigh if I didn’t work out! No low carb cutting phases for me, always in bulk mode and still ripped (i.e., skinny). 🙂
