That part of this project isn't a lot of fun. Grinder with 80 grit pad, plus drill with coarse wire wheel (went thru 2 of those). Paint and aluminum dust in every orifice. If you're going to do this buy and use a good mask. You do not want that dust in your lungs. I ordered two quarts based on Jerry's recommendation. Worked out perfectly, with a little left over, for my 1436. Since it came in separate containers (1/2 pints) it was easy to mix a half batch. I just added half of the grey pigment Fasco sent. First coat thin, second a little thicker. Three hours between coats to get the right "tack". I used a high quality solvent resistant roller (1/4" nap), and still got some "lint" in the finish. But step back you don't see it. No big deal, but a foam roller may have worked better, although the roller I had worked really well to apply the stuff. Here's the pics. Next project is the trailer. Got a used one that needs some work.</p></blockquote><p></p>
