mercer county, il
I’ll agree with this. Prep and priming is the most important part. We generally use ppgs omni line for stuff like this. A good surface prep, and a good coat of epoxy primer is a lot of your durability.

We use ppg because that’s what our local that has a good paint guy carries the most of. For your application MP170 epoxy primer, and MAE single stage (with hardener) is what i would use.

If you’re just learning, use a medium (or slow) reducer on a cooler day and you will have plenty of open time to make wet edges work out. If you try to use a quick, or faster reducer, youll end up with a bunch of places that look “frosted” when you try to tie back into what you’ve painted. The faster the reducer, the faster the paint “sets”.
