Yes and no. I do use spray paint on some things but this pump is all PPG auto paint. On big stuff I spray it because it is more durable and looks better. I have used some rattle cans with the hardener you pop before use. They work good if you buy the right on. I have touched up many cars with those types of rattle cans. My pumps will always be spray with a gun.

Well, that makes sense. I was impressed with how you got the paint to flow with no dry areas as spray cans are prone to.

And the pump has no clear on it. All Urethane paint so no need for a clear. I like this one stage paint. Less work and good results.

Can you post a picture of how the reset handle looks attached to the access panel on the inside and how it connects to the reset rod. Thanks

Dan--You do good work my friend!
You really changed the appearance of that pump for the better.
Wonder why you chose Mobil? LOL
