Scott use 2150 I-H as suggested. Make sure that the surface is absolutely free of oil or the paint will "fisheye", that is small holes appear in the paint where it does not adhere to the oily surface Don't be afraid to use multiple coats of primer which you can rub down with fine 2000 grit paper. This will fill pits and marks. Always use a tack coat first. This is a coat that barely covers or colours the surface but it is very important. Let the tack coat sit for 15 minutes or so and then you can put a good wet coat on. The tack coat will prevent runs but doesen't guarantee against them. Also make sure you have good lighting where you are painting. I can tell you from experience that you may think you have done a complete job on a hood or other part and then the next day you see that the wet coat missed a contour, so make sure you can see the work well.I am really pleased withI-H 2150, it is easy to work with and gives good results. I have done one H and I am just about ready to start preping "Rusty" my other H. For an amateur I am quite pleased with my paint job. Good luck from Mike Soldan in Exeter Ontario.
