Tim,
I'm glad someone has actually finished this project. My last attempt was about 90% nice. I was painting in my garage to cut down on dust, but the lighting was poor. The finish looks great, except I didn't quite overlap my last wet coat so the bar is striped in the right light! I had about decided I could live with that when I noticed a big sag on near the bottom of the driver's side. That I can't live with.
I did manage to keep the dust down. I used a new 9X12 plastic sheet and walked very carefully and slowly so I wouldn't stir up anything.
So, even though I swore this was my last attempt, I think I've learned enough to give it one more shot.
One question I have: Should/Can the satin finish be waxed after it cures?
Leland: You say your paint is chipping off... what kind of paint did you use and how did you prep it?
