Next up was paint...
I used Rustoleum Self Etching Primer to undercoat the frame pieces.
The Self Etching Primer lays flat and bonds to the aluminum very well.
Once dry I used the appropriate frame corners to assemble the frames.
Assembled frame ready for finish paint.
For the top coats I first sprayed a few coats of Matte Black Krylon Fusion paint to build up the color.
Once dry, I buffed with a Scotch-Brite pad to prep for the top coat. I then sprayed a couple coats of Gloss Black Krylon Fusion to finish up the painting.
Finished product.
To be continued...
