Hi Paul, I just completed mine about a year ago. I used PPG Urethane paint. Nasty stuff, but does stick well. I used PPGs self-etching primer also then followed up with their epoxy primer then the topcoat. I used one gal of self-etching primer, then one gal of gray epoxy primer, and then two gal of topcoat. I coated all primers with one coat, but topcoat needed 2-3 coats. As far as striper goes, I used about 15 gal of striper, not sure of the name, it was free from a paint shop that shut down. But the automotive area has a neat spray gun that works well with the thick stripers. Stand back and shoot a splatter of striper without the worries of getting it on you. Then let it set, over night if you can then pressure wash it off. The striper I used was this environmentally Safe stuff (So the 55-gal barrel said) but it does a mean job on the grass and cleans concrete real well. It also burns if you get it on you. Environmentally safe, yea right. If you want to chat more on the stuff I used, shoot me an email with your phone number. Thanks Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Paul M.
