One more thing. used spray bombs for small parts in late stages.

Hi Steve,

I had great satisfaction using extensively thinned Zinc Chromate, applied with small disposable rollers. I primed all internal surfaces not just contacting parts. I used a shrouded fan to draw a negative pressure on my single car garage, keeping the other inhabitants happy.  Also, used aluminum food trays from Costco as paint trays. I bought some 1/4 gallon new paint cans and stored the gallon of Zc in them, and then broke these down into 125 ml mason jars as required. Kind of like big model paint bottles. Rolling vs spraying or brushing eliminates mist and streaks. Also, don't fuss too much over the cleaning, scotchbrite use or waiting for primer to dry. just deburr

, a quick wisk with scotchbrite, prime it, go for coffee come back and rivet it together.
