How did you apply it? Did you just roll it on with a roller? Or Did you spray it? What sort of prep did you do to the truck first?

Roller and brush when I did mine.

I'm doing a full frame off restoration on a '68 Deuce. I have found the Behr Marquee I am using very soft, dings easily even up to two weeks after painting. I'm assuming it will take the full 8 weeks to harden properly and getting the painted parts out in the sun to cure for full durability, however this has concerned me. What I have found that has worked really well for me is using a cheap Wagner old school power sprayer (airless), thinning the paint with water approx. 1 ounce per quart. Paint flows nicely and looks really good. Any more water than that you risk runs, any less you risk a textured look. So far so good, the only issue I'm concerned about is the hardness of the paint. My primary question is, if you paint the exhaust stack with Behr latex paint, will it hold up or cook off due to extreme heat?

The exhaust will most likely burn off… you’re looking at a minimum 130-150 at tip.. it would be soft I think….

I don't believe painting the stack with Behr paint would be a good idea. Besides the heat you have contraction and expansion and that may make the paint flake off over time. If you do paint it with the Behr please keep us updated on the performance. Interesting question.
