If only it was as easy as it sounds. 🆒

My one addition would be buy GOOD paint. Don’t try buying the good cheap stuff, break down and spend the money on the good stuff, from a company that you have heard of more than one time.

The other thing, buy a very good spary gun. Don’t try the cheap ones from Harbor Freight, you just end up with more work than you started with.

Trust me, I know. I have made these two mistakes in the past few weeks…
