[AT] Good bye!

[charlie hill]

Grant,  Go to your local paint store and tell them you want some "direct to 
metal water based Acrylic".  I know that  ICI Devoe and Sherwin Williams 
have a good product in this line.  I suspect most of the others do too.  It 
shouldn't cost you over $50 a gallon or so at most.  It goes on thin and a 
gallon will go a long ways.

Pressure wash the areas you want to paint over and maybe rough it up with 
some very fine sand paper or steel wool.  Try to paint it when you have a 
couple of days to let it sit after you finish.  This kind of paint drys 
quickly but takes a while to get really hard and well bonded.  It will give 
you a real slick, shiny finish that will keep it's gloss for a long time. 
We have started using this type paint instead of Epoxy on tanks, structural 
steel, etc.   It's good stuff.
It ICI Devoe product is Lifemaster Pro if I remember correctly.

If you need more info let me know.

Charlie
