Finale

Thanks Terry C, Brian, Tim, Jay and Dirty Steve!

It's my maiden attempt with a spray gun...30 minutes to prep, 5 minutes to coat and 60 minutes to clean up. I used a Fuji 2203G Semi-PRO 2 - Gravity Feed Unit. (Made in Canada)

Jay - That's what I learned very quickly - more thinner=more flow, so I went extremely light on the vertical sections to prevent runs. Love Valspar paint/hardener, reasonably priced and great quality. Probably only have $12. or so in paint/hardener and thinner on the fender...I would say it's less expensive than rattle cans...once you purchase the gun/compressor/hose. Way better results. The best part is I don't have to buff anything out. Done.

zippy1 - They are Carlisle All Trails 4-Ply on the back (Made in US). Could not find my size for the fronts.

As you all know, it's pretty cool to take a discarded, abandoned or left-for-dead piece of equipment, you put your hours into it and make it function again, look good and then use it to work for you.
