I have used Spectrum for other kinds of paint (for very demanding 
applications) and can highly recommend them.  The quality of their 
coatings is outstanding and their customer service is excellent.

Bruce -- do you spray it on?  Any suggestions for those of us with 
little spraying experience?  (I have a compressor that should do, but 
no air filtration suitable for painting, and no spray gun.)

Thanks,

Don
