    Paint for my Stage 1

    Looking to touch up the front windshield frame and the roof directly above the front windshield. What is the best spray paint that I can use that would be as close to a faded Masai red as possible? What paint also would cover the roof which is Limestone ? I dont have any spray guns so I am looking for something in a spray can. Cheers !!

      The windshield frame is supposed to be galvanized. Did I misunderstand what you are trying to paint?

      Masai Red and Rustoleum Regal Red are a pretty close match - depending on what type of finish you are looking for. I keep a rattle can around for touch ups on my Stage One. I also painted the tailgate and it blends in nicely.

      It is a little too shiny at first - but after you rub some dirt in it... you get the idea.

      I would not use Rustoleum for my Pebble Beach entry but it is perfect for banging around on trees and in the mud.
