I see a variety of people use Krylon Fusion, but isn't that for plastics?

I did what Black Phantom did but rolled on Tremclad black, it's been over two years and no pealing or chipping. I see most people spray on Krylon Fusion and I have no idea why since roll on works so well.

I would think that rolling it on would be a lot less work. I will try that. Any special tremclad that you used?

I used tremclad flat black rust paint, rolled on, it worked awesome. I think I did 3 or 4 coats, it dries to kind of a rubber like finish. One thing to watch out for though is that it stinks to high heaven.

Krylon fusion is also recommended for glass; pretty much anything with a smooth hard surface that is hard it will bond to.
