Armstrong Twin #2

The first step was fairly simple.  Paint the enclosure.  Used Krylon Primer (3 coats), Gold (5 coats), and Gloss Clear Coat (3 coats).  Plus my primitive Sharpie applied graphics.

Using spray paint is one of the easiest ways to apply paint to metal.  But it is easily screwed up as well.  The trick is to paint multiple thin coats using 2-3 second bursts as you sweep the piece with the paint.  

Optimally the work piece should be suspended on a wire or hook to get the best coverage and prevent sticking.  That was not an option for me so I improvised a spray box out of a used cardboard box.
