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.

Got several of the parts primed with the Krylon Rust Tough stuff yesteday. I have used it before and have liked it. Sprays well and goes a long way. Did 2 even coats. Will try to paint today or this weekend.

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.

Need a new trac bar for my truck. Is 1.5"x.25" DOM and 7/8 heims good for an 8k truck?
