Keyair,I used all Rust-Oleum oil based paint. I tried spraying and didn't think it worked well getting into all the cracks and opening, plus hard to control and get can in right position. What worked the best was a longer handle 3" roller,(they usually come with a foam roller cover with about 1"diameter) I replaced the foam cover with a longer nap 3"replacement cover same size as the foam cover,that and a assortment of brushes from 1"to 3" mostly 1" with a wooden handle taped onto the brush handle, that enabled me to reach farther,that helped alot.Any ways it was a challenge,only good thing is you get to spend alot of time on your back. Thanks for the compliment. Randy

The Rust-Oleum was high performace oil base. The black I used was flat and the aluminum was gloss. I thought the high gloss in the black would look a little over done for the bottom of a MH, the sheen from the flat black turned out about right.
