ChadTower:
Latex is awfully soft... for a cab, I'd suggest at least an oil... an enamel if you can get it locally would be perfect.

Good luck with the finishing touches, I am sure that the finished product will be great.

Oh, I was home....just in bed!
I work at nights (at work now), so I sleep during the day on the weekends.
@ ChadTower - I use a latex from Kelly Moore made just for cabinets and apply it with a foam roller. The paint is a little thinner than most latex paint, has very similiar consistency as oil. The end result is a smooth as glass finish that is pretty tough and protective.
I lost my grip on a 2x4 and it hit on of the cabs square in the side and then slid down, and it didn't make a scratch.

Well, I was off by a day.
I got a little lazy yesterday and did very little, so I painted today. The Glidden Team Colors went on really smooth, the Seahawks blue looks really really good on the cab. Dropped a total of five coats for maximum coverage. I sprayed the glass for the bezel with a blue spray paint that almost perfectly matched the blue t-molding. So, tomorrow all I have to do is install the CP and bezel and t-molding and marquee. Everything is already wired and ready to go...I predict maybe 2-3 hours of work tops
My wife took the camera to work (the downside to being married to someone in real estate)...I should have pics tomorrow when she brings the camera home.

How do you drop 5 coats in one day?
