only metal ive painted was an offshore drilling rig.
2 part International or Carboline brand paint.
used a siphone (wash down) gun.
where i work now they use a PPG brand paint. not sure if its 1 part or 2 part.
We paint the inside of chiller parts with Carboline 2 part coal tar epoxy. Holy mess. We slop it on with brushes and Lord help you if you get it on you, you’re wearing it off.
