Is there another way to do it?

Just make sure anything you don't want paint or overspray on is covered with newspaper, cardboard, plastic drop clothes, etc.

Yea covered and taped off everything, the overspray will get on everything if you don't.

I've tried the Por15 and it just doesn't lay out as nice as I want. I'll be priming and spraying mine also. What paint are y'all using to rattle can it?
