you forgot...
other helpful hints..

beer (or brit. ale for lbc's) in the correct quntities such that it #1 steadies 
your hand upon application of the paint.
      and gets you through all the damn sanding.
i use laquer thinner to wipe down the bare metal minutes before using my tack 
cloth.
yeah...the mask is very important!! the epoxy can harden in your lungs and 
literally kill ya.
wet (dampen) the floor to keep the dust down, and use a low volume fan to suck 
(not blow) the fumes away.
only paint in the day, not at night (mothra, attacks) but not at noon anywhere 
around a McDonalds... and only on dry days, not humid or rainy.dont paint in 
the same garage you armour all your rubber parts in.

seriously.. 
 



Above all, use the correct safety equipment, especially the mask, if you do
it yourself. Be aware of painting in a closed space with an open flame like
a water heater.
