    You would have to call around. If you did it out of 16ga or thinner any good HVAC / sheetmetal shop would be able to do it. If you want to stick with 1/4" it will probably have to be someone in houston that has a heavy roller setup.

    How wide and how many degrees?

    make the piece larger than needed. find a random pole somewhere with the correct raduis and attach and bend. it may be anywere. nothing like fabing in the parking lot of a gas station next to their pump cause it has the correct radius haha

    I have spray painted plenty of things, but always kinda guessed on the ingredients.

    I need to paint my Jeep fenders. I just want to use spray cans, and do not want to mess with an air gun or anything. What type of primer? These are just bare steel now. How many coats of primer? Should I use a primer sealer after the primer? How many coats of paint?

    Rustoleum has a self-etching primer for bare steel that I like, it comes in cans.
    I would do one or two coats with 10-minutes or so between coats then come back with paint the next day.

    Humidity and temperature are crucial with any paint, especially rattle cans.

    I like Rust Tough paint on bare metal. I've used it on a lot of stuff and always been happy with the outcome.

    What he said, using primer really does help the quality of rattle can paint. I always just buy the same brand primer as the final paint I am going to apply, I figure it must be compatable.

    If that is the new krylon paint, I like it. x2 on 2 coats of primer, then a few coats of paint.

    Make sure you have a wind/ dust free environment, that's what made the gloss paint look flat on my bronco

    Another big thing that you probably already know is to get spray paint with the "fan tip" instead of the old school round sprayer. Most of the cheaper brands still have the crappy round sprayer. The fan tip makes for a much smoother coat.

    I think the "fan tip" is why I like it. sprays nice.
