Also I have been using the testors aztek paints as I had picked some up at michaels last year and had good luck with them. I tried a pink flourescent this year that sprayed/looked great but apparently I had some type of reaction with the sys 3 clearcoat. The 2 white mackerel plugs matched the pink one before I epoxied them and i had heat set them. They looked fine when I put them on the spinner but came back 4 hours later and they were white mackerel. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

I hit the remaining pink plugs Id painted with a rustoleum clear coat that I used to use as a scratch coat. I hope that saves the rest of them.
