Thanks....... After using a foam brush for a second coat on the pan, I'm back to using just brushes on the final coat. It's a bit thick for foam applicators larger than 1.5", IMP. I could reduce it, but I don't have "their" reducer and it's not worth the effort.

I'll finish the pan tonight. Think I'll hit the top (technically bottom...ha!) and top edges first, with somewhat a heavy coat. Then work my way down. I'll be sure and post the final results.

For the first hour or so it looks like crap man. Every imperfection revealed. I may have exaggerated brushes Vs shooting, but either way you can't go wrong here. Can't speak for the pan yet, but the cover looks sprayed. Shame I have to sand it
