Thanks.

I ended up using dupli-color, and washed, sanded, de-greased, tack cloth, adhesion promoter, sandable primer, primer (sanded after), primer sealer, base coat, clear coat.

i went way OTT but was just wanting to not have to redo again if it went wrong.

I'm in middle of a lithium conversion so not all put back together yet, but painting done, and the colors seem good. Have a new black roof to go on top too.

The two colors i went for was Ocean Blue Metal Specks - https://www.amazon.com/Dupli-Color-M...6153498&sr=8-1

and Metal Specks Sparkle Silver - https://www.amazon.com/Dupli-Color-M...98&sr=8-1&th=1
