I tried Rustolium this time with much better results than Krylon. I find that you get a nice coverage from the first half of the can. After that, low pressure gives some really uneven sprays. A comet scrub and using a tack cloth right before painting also gives really nice results. I think the hardest part of rebuilding for me is patience.
Painting takes a lot of patience.
Not waiting until something is completely dry, or handling carelessly can lead to huge frustrations. There's nothing as maddening as dinging a freshly painted surface. Listen to Yoda. You must learn patience. Before painting the frame, I ran all the cables and wiring.
