I am retired so time is not an issue, and Az weather cooperates most times, I have done DIY paint jobs before but dont claim to be an expert by any strech, all to say I feel able to tackle it after this summers trip to the NW. I appreciate the comments on primmer and brands of paint that anyone has used successfully and what to stay away from (without starting and argument lol)I do know that the paint that is peeling was a PPG product called Omni Au, MBC Base Coat. 34353 Gray Fleet. At least that is what the can says when I insisted they give me the left over paint. Now when I read "base coat" I am starting to wonder did I get ripped of worse that I thought. Popeye I used Delstar metalic years ago and it was fantastic I had some paint left over and went to look for some catalyst and they no longer made it....and that was 15 years ago...finally found someone who had a quart for $$$$$.
