Considering all the sand in your painting area, that paint looks great, or did you do it indoors? The two-part paint is the way to go. I like the Sherwin-Williams Genesis paint, it's the toughest stuff I've ever used. Good luck on the project. It looks like you're doing it the right way.

Looking really good! We are about at the same stage in our builds. Well, actually I may be a bit further... I cheated and bought a complete, ready to drop in motor. lol
