    Im trying some of my resources for ballasts. I found one that does 70-100watts for $150, but thats to much. Im not as ready for lights as i thought. Some of the wood for my stand is warped. I dont have the tools to fix it. Im going to see about building a steel stand instead. I have access to the tools and expert knowledge of doing the task. Im kindof bummed but oh well, tommorow is a new day.

    If you go steel plan on powdercoating it before set up. Saltwater will eat that up in no time so the powdercoating will be key.

    Paint is a toss up. If you prep right and make sure there is no oil or rust on the metal it could work if you go that route use POR 15. It works great for what it is made to do.

    POR 15 is made to stop and prevent rust in high risk areas in cars. Like the battery tray and stuff like that but I really do suggest powdercoating.
