As some of you may know from other posts I have made, I am in the process of building my second MHS saber, and I have most of the parts I need, but there are still a couple things I need to order from Tim and obtain elsewhere. So, I thought it would be a good idea to get my parts painted and ready for assembly so I have one less thing to do when I get those last few odds and ends. I went to the local Wal-mart and the guy there was pretty helpful and he even pointed me towards a primer that he swears is great for aluminum. So, I'm asking you all for your opinions and advice on what I have and if it should work. Here is the list of what I bought.
Rust-Oleum Self Etching Primer (the guy said this should eliminate the need for sanding)
Krylon Indoor/Outdoor(for Metal, wood, wicker and more) Satin finish Black
Rust-Oleum Indoor/Outdoor Metallic Gold
Krylon Crystal Clear Satin finish Indoor/Outdoor clearcoat.
Of course I also got some painter's tape to mask off the sections I don't want painted. So will these work? And do you have any advice about how many coats to use or other application techniques?
