So for the team as Jon does all the time, since my lids with three coats of Ultra were toast after 2 sessions maybe cause I did not get all the raised paint off which mine were in bad shape. This was after 3 coats of ultra in defense of the paint my manifold was nat gas they just stuck a propane connection on it got past 700 when I fired it up.
Also I had repaired the cross member the firebox bolts into meaning sanding it down 3 coats started to rust thru again. Took the damn thing apart last weekend took my orbital sander to that piece spayed with 3 coats of the 900 within an hour waited 4 days that paint you can re-coat in 24 hours not taking a chance hit it with 2 more coats tonight.
This paint is thicker and it has the good nozzle not the one that will break your finger but cause it is thicker you need to be a little more careful with it. Its for sure more glossy than the ultra wish I had resprayed the whole frame but to quote Stefan it is not a prom queen so that was not happening. However if I had known about this stuff before I would have used it for the frame. This paint is available from Amazon but its an add on so you need to spend 25 bucks. Good price also.

Spraying the side lids this weekend gonna use the simple green sand it with 220 with my orbital sander then wipe it down with denatured alcohol before I paint it. Time will tell if it holds up better we will see.
These are before pictures of the side lids will post the after when I'm done.
