The weather here in Visalia was great in the 70's. I got off work early and was able to put on final paint "Hammered Silver" It came out decent for a beginner.

What flavor of primer did you spray & how much did it take? I was planning to get a gallon of Kilz from wally world.

I asked all over and even looked on Rust “O” site to find out what they would recommend to use for the Hammered paint. I really never got a definitive answer, I think some one here used or recomended So I went with:

ZINSSER High Hide Cover-Stain® is a high-performance, all-surface oil-base primer-sealer that offers outstanding adhesion and stain killing power and dries to recoat in 2 hours. High Hide Cover Stain offers excellent flexibility and penetration making it ideal for exterior wood siding and trim. It seals in one coat offering excellent hold-out for enamels.

It sanded between coats. I used about ¾ of a gallon. I painted inside and out. Outside was sprayed with 3 coats.

I was real tempted to go white looked nice as does everyone who has done it in white. but I had my mind set on the hammered paint. I hope it stays stuck to the primer 

It took 1.5 quarts to cover It (outside only) with two coats, I should of sprayed thinner coats I think, but it looks pretty good to my old eyes. At least for what it is, if it was my car I would be unhappy. Well hope that wasn’t to much info
