Looks good. What parts did you use the spray bombs for and what parts got the brush on? What kind of surface prep did you do?

Re: Zero Rust today's pics

First I loosen up all the dirt, oil and rust. I use wire brushes for rust spots. I pressure wash to remove any loose dirt and oil. Air dry with a little help from my compressor. After at least 12 hours of drying, I paint. I'm going to use a air spray gun tomorrow. It will be my first time to use an air gun. I'm thinning the Zero Rust per instructions. I'm thinning down to 10% for a shiny finish. If all goes well, everything else will get a light coat too. All the large parts I coated with a brush. Motor mounts, bolts and small parts have gotton spray cans.
