That'll teach the women folk to go out shopping

Yeah, I took my time painting it to avoid sags or runs. I ended up spraying the primer and orange in 3 light coats each until I got even solid coverage with both. I waited about 20-30 minutes between coatings. I admit I wanted to spray it in one coat, but I had to remind myself to take my time. It turned out really good if I do say so myself.

Been there, done that. I get antsy with paint, and I remind myself to slow down or I will screw it up

OK, it does look really good, so you don't have to say so yourself

Thanks for the compliment. I just hope it doesn't "run" off when I fire it up for the first time.

A lot of members have used the POR engine paint with good results so I'm sure yours will be fine as well.
