[sdiy] MOTM panel paint

When I bought, it was something like $65 for the gallon of paint
itself, plus $40 for the quart of catalyst.  You'll also need the
reducer and, for proper adhesion, you should use the associated
primer, which all adds up to somewhere around $160 for the four cans.
Prime, wait minimum one hour, maximum three hours, paint.  Repeat on
other side with texture.  Complete air cure takes about five days
(heehee, unless you're here in Arizona) or you can put it in an oven
to cure faster.  Unless you're immortal, you'll want to do this in an
OSHA-approved spray booth with a pressurized fresh air feed into your
face mask...  Oh yeah, and it STINKS, so find a remote place to do all
this so the neighbors don't complain...

That sure sounds a lot easier.  Maybe I should do that myself...  ;-)
