[QUOTE="Jerry Gerner 2, post: 968441, member: 67360"] Piro, I did medium thin coats so it didn't clump up or create runs. There is still texture, just Satin Black now. The only prep I did was I sprayed the hell out of it with Simple Green (even around the edges to the backside) because I painted around to the backside so the paint is solid and sticks. I added Simple Green while scuffing/ cleaning with the "Scotch-Brite" steel wool pads because it evaporates fairly quick. Then I sprayed down all the pieces with the hose making sure there wasn't anymore suds running off. Let it all air dry so you don't get any contaminates on the surface. I did use a very thin light coat of flat black primer to cover the grey plastic (the Krylon Satin Black paint for plastic says you don't need to) but I didn't want to have to apply a ton of coats of paint. I'll take some close-ups so you can see. [/QUOTE]
