i slid the second rail way up close as i could to the one with the lights and cut some peices of conduit and flattened the ends in the vise. then i screwed em from one rail to the other

So let me get this straight.... that nice green even paint was achieved with the use of rattle cans and drop cloths taped inside a covered patio?!

poooof is awesome cause it is cheap. if you take your time and do decent prep it wont look bad at all.

I have even seen an old timer win best paint at a small car show with poof. he did many coats, bought nice tips, and wet sanded it all though. poof is not bad it is the person painting it

looks like krkx93 took his time and did a decent job

I don't know whether to yell bs or drop to my knees and start bowing. Excellent job. Did you use any form of ventilation in your "booth" like a fan or did you fully seal it.
