Hello from Oklahoma....
I am a Retired Army NCO, living in North Central Oklahoma. I finished my Economics Degree after I retired. I had a SHop built by Morton, they finished a couple of months ago. I am in the process of finishing out the interior. Pretty straightforward, I furred the walls, 2X4 Treated on bottom, WW above that. Attached to purlins. Plywood on bottom, pegboard on top. The most fun I had was running electrical receptacles. I had never done that before, so I prurchased a Black and Decker book from Lowe's. Really well done, learned a lot.
I dug the hole and ran the 3" conduit for electrical servive. I hung the box for the meter, and the breaker box inside, then 12/2 wiring. Very interesting stuff.
Right now I am painting pegboard. I bought the standard 1/4" 4X8 sheets, and cut to fit. Now taked down and preparing to paint. I painted one sheet, Hunter Green Spray paint. Here's my big mistake on this, I am thinking maybe I should have bought the white, that would have taken less paint.
But.....Oh well. I can prime with Kilz or a similar product, I think that is best at this point, then paint over. I like the spray more than a gallon and roller. I think painting in small circular patterns, say 6" circles is best.
Anyone have any suggestions on the spray paint technique ? has anyone used both spray and roller, and is their a preferred technique on this ?
Thanks. Found this forum on a google search, looks interesting.
