    I want to know how you did the first painting. I wanted to do something nearly just like that except using a gunmetal type color. Please please post up how you did that, how it held up and so on.

    Just wash and degrease. Then I used some sandpaper to scuff the surface a bit. Wash again. Then use some adhesion promoter. Then just paint like you would anything. Couple coats of paint followed by a few coats of clearcoat.

    I'll have to give that a try, I really think a gunmetal look would go better with my Hunter Green color.
