Don't remember what brand primer. Something common.
Black base was the $2/can QuickColor found at home depot.
Black texture was Rustoleum $6/can MultiColor Texture.

My 1.6 cover is black with red painted recessed letters. I was thinking about sprucing it up a bit too. I was actually considering spraying it black again and dripping red melted wax into the concave lettering. I don't know if it would turn out good or not, but the idea is that the letters could be made flush to the top surface of the cover, but would be red.

When I sprayed my cover years ago, I basically when and did a sandblast on it to get it cleaned, and the surface prep'd.....
Then I used a Zinc-Cromate primer (marine grade -- for al). It's lasted, oh, I'd say 8 years now.... Unfortunately with all the dust, oil spills, etc it's a little dirty these days....
I think I'm going to have to find another cover though, to do the drill/tap for the cops.... <G>
