The metal sheet will be replaced. If I'm going through the trouble of repainting, I might as well fix that corroded detail. More later on that.
I took a piece of the backbox trim with purple to Lowes and they matched it. If it's not dead on, it's a very close match. Bought a gallon:
Cheap HVLP gun, cost $30 10yrs ago. (added regulator and cheap filter)
The mix I used was 85% latex paint, 10% water, and 5% Floetrol. The Floetrol really seemed to help the paint flow, as in it would have looked like crap if I didn't use it. It seemed to spray on bumpy (sputtered out of the gun?), but smooth as it dried. Although the result was beyond my expectations, I will probably thin the paint a bit more next time.
