SEM paints are excellent. Etching primers, topcoats, clears. No issues.

Prefer VHT engine paint, which I think is Dulicolor. Very hard and nice gloss.

That will be my next "tinker project".

No picture. Foam rubber and a gear clamp. Clamp can lightly to the saw blade. Run slow then speed up a bit. You can buy already made up ones.

Could you explain how to convert Sawzall to can shaker. Whoops, didn't see the earlier explanation.

I find engine enamel in spray cans works good. Seems a bit more durable.

Where can the Seymore spry paint be found.

I've been using Eastwood products on the last couple projects with great results. There "Rust Encapsulator", and extreme chassis black provide an extremely durable and correct appearance. I primarily use rattle cans as I don't have a booth and I mostly do chassis restorations so it's a lot of small painting jobs. Mixing a gun every time would result in a lot of waste.

Thanks for the tip on the respirator. I don't paint very often or use a respirator when I do, although I use one often for dusty projects. I will take your advice in the future.
