yes I bought a cheapy HLVP from harborfreight, the painter at where i used to work says its no different then the high dollar ones except for the cheap plastic cup it comes with.yeah it was pretty difficult to get it turn out this good, especially theres construction digging up dirt and dust everywhere right behind my house, i waited till after rain to spray to keep the dust low.I used rust-o-leum, oil based enamel, the blue color is marketed for boats, the white i guess is the stuff you paint fences with?
yes i used chrome polish on the bumper and wheels to clean up some rust, the front bumper is too rusty i need to use a wire wheel to get the rust off, so i just left it for now.
don't know about colombus, i am going back to antarctica for 6mo in aug.
