I'm using Valspar anti rust primer but I thinned it out about 20-25 percent, and I'm going to use rustoleum professional paint

Hey Wood, I know we should be using one but I figured being as we were outside it would be ok.

As long as you never got a whiff of it then I spose' so. Just don't wanna be breathin that stuff. And nobody else either. Was there much of a wind to be carrying the overspray very far??
