My 2 cents, I've always preferred Krylon over Rustoleum, but I do use the Rusto Crystal Clear Acrylic laquer. The Krylon Foil (I get at HL) is a great product. Not quite chrome but great for a veey shiny polished aluminum look.
Continues to look great John. the finish came out very nice. Good luck with the dreaded foiling. I bought a sheet of the matte and it sticks as well as the older BMF but seems very thin so burnishing requires a light touch. I used a soft tissue and the more you rub it the shinier it gets...looks like the chrome.
So sorry for you Jeff. As a huge dog lover (all animals for that matter) I can sure sympathize with you as we've been thru many trials and tribulations with our Pups (we don't call them dogs no matter how old they are) Turner looks like a sweet boy?
