a couple tips on rattle cans. Ist be carfull mixing brands as some of them use a different mix and they don't mix well. Runs and bleeding can be a problem. 2nd you have a 1 hr window to second coat . after that you need to wait 24 hrs for next coat or you risk alligatoring in the finish. The drying agent will be coming out of the ist coat affecting the second coat.try some painting on a peice of cardboard to see how the coors mix. Temp and humidity are also a problem so be carefull of that.
I use mainly rattle can and the finish I get is sweet.Wait a day or so if your gonna epoxy coat for the best results.A little trick to fix ooopses is to spray some paint in a ziplock then use a qtip to paint it on the ooops to fix it. hope this helps. Ron
