Painting continued... an idea make my own telescopic cover.

This is coat 3, I finished coat 4 this morning.  Correction- It takes about 2.5 hours to do the whole painting process per coat.  I think with the 5th coat, I may have good coverage, I hope! 
 Spending this much time in my carport made me notice this flashing.  I think I could make telescopic covers with a 8.5 inch x 45 inch piece of flashing. It would cost about $15 for all.

I would need it folded in a "Z" shape. This seemed like a method I could use to  bend it:

I think I could spray paint it shell white and cover the edge with the ABS/MEK goo so that it wouldn't be too sharp to handle.I was looking for a plastidip, but can't find one in white.
