Pretty much the same as Velspar ... except the Velspar doesn't mention the drying time. Actually the Velspar is a bit of pain, the first 24 hours the paint is still very soft. I typically get the Velspar at Tractor Supply. Evidently the hardener has a lot of effect on the paint. Regardless.... use some kind of hardener, it works great.



$800 To blast the frame ... that's crazy. My guy charges $50 a bag .... frame is about six bags. But I did transport it, pick it up, etc. He spent 30 minutes blasting time and it was done.
