    I did this paint job on my son's Ford F150 Pick-up Front edge of hood!! It came out extremely well!! I did learn a couple of things along the way. #1 Mix paint Per the temperature you are working in I do not remember the post or link that explained it but it maybe in the one Colin gave you! #2 Do not let the paint run if it does it is too thin of a mix ,you will just end up sanding most of it off. #3 I painted a coat in the afternoon then in the morning then sanded afternoon then painted afternoon painted morning then sanded REPEAT until about 10 to 12 coats on area of vehicle allow to cure for about 2 Days then take the D/A to it and you will be excited by the results! #4 Sand evenly watch yourself on any edges they are tricky go lightly or you will sand thru your paint!!!!! Best of luck on your endevor of RUSTOLEUM PAINT JOB PS. Do not keep working the wet paint it will leave bubbles , if some are present pop with a needle or pin pain to get rid of bubbles as you end up sanding most of that coat off!!!!
