I see alot of people recommend mulitple coats.. Once the painted and hardener are mixed how long do we have to work with the paint for multiple coats?

Nigel, I mixed as directed and I had a minimum of 4 hours. I was done hours before there was any hint of the paint in the can hardening. I did a really good job of prepping everything. I cleaned out the garage really well and then put the car on jack stands. The night before I cleaned the caliper really well. The key here I only had 800 miles on my car, so cleaning was a easy. I started by trimming all areas and then followed up with at least 5 coats. You have every bit of 4 hours. I could have painted my calipers in like 30 mins with the amount of prep I had done. I also cut up small pieces of card board from a 12 pak of soda. I made them in to 1" by 3" squares. I used these to help me trim. That and a fine brush. I could have easily done 2 if not 3 cars. Good Luck Nigel.

Depends on how many coats you do. I did 3 and it looks black. But the 1st 2 coats were very dark brown.

I agree, you have to use both primer & top coat for it to last. Bonder also definitely keeps it in longer too.

I used it for the first time last night. It recommends 8-22 viscosity which took quite a bit of thinning to get to, but the paint went on great and had a nice smooth finish. Multiple coats is the key.**Update** I painted my front door with it today. I used Behr Premium Plus Latex Exterior paint and it turned out fantastic. I thinned the paint down to 22 viscosity and it worked great. It went on even and smooth with no issues. This is the second time ive ever used a paint sprayer and i am super impressed. It is very easy to clean as well. I did some practice to get my technique down, but once i did, i am painting like a pro. I used it for the first time last night.

Just one coat is enough, it is self Seattle paint if it's not look good you can do other one after it's dry .it should dry in 24 hr or 48 hr is most. Now as you have paint is not dry so don't use until you see it's dry other wise it is get wrinkly when you use it.

I used three coats on a 4x8' piece of primed plywood and still had some, maybe a third of a can, left over. I had to thin the paint before the last coat with an ounce of water, to make sure it went on smoothly. I used it for a ping-pong table, and it's held up well. You are probably going to want to use two coats at least. My guess is you could just make it stretch. Sand lightly and dust between coats.

Mine dried in 2 days. Perhaps you put more coats than I did. I only did one coat

It depends on how thick of a coat you put on it. I would say for a glaze (a think layer) it would only take a 5 mins to fully dry. Then you could put another coat to give it a more risen 3d affect.

At least 3. I would do 2 or 3 coats. Prob 6 cans to do it right. Be sure to sand first.

I stained mine a Gunstock color from minwax and put a clear poly coat on top. Like a previous poster mentioned, it soaked up the coating pretty well.

Yes, I've used it many times. I would recommend two light coats rather than one heavier coat.

I have used this product on painted surfaces but I let the paint cure for about a week before I applied the coating. It took 4 coats to achieve the wanted finish. It is a very thin coating so I didn't see the need to sand between coats.

looking at the picture of the paashe h I'd say yes. I put different colors in 10 bottles and only use it maybe once a week Just shake it up or stir it before use and to help keep my air gun clean between paints I use thinner to make sure all paint is gone, you can use water but I found paint stayed behind sometimes.

The metallics take a bit longer than the flat and gloss finishes in my experience. You can thin it for better results, but using thinner coats of it straight from the bottle may work for you as well, depending on your painting technique (hand painted Vs. airbrush, etc.) Try thinner coats applied to the plastic model and doing multiple coats where applicable, first. If that doesn't/already isn't working, then try thinning it out progressively. You can practice on plastic spoons/knives to get your method down without running any potential risk with your model pieces.

Same way you applied before. Instead of sanding you skip that step . Just make sure your tub/sink are clean and dry. Needs two coats, second coat 45 mins after first if I'm not mistaken. It's been a while since I painted the tub. Just remember to follow the instructions between coats. Good luck

I am not the representative for this company, but I would. In my humble opinion, I think this paint is very nice. I sanded the fire out of some coat racks and went with it. It has a nice finish. You may wish to do 2 coats. I can't remember if I did. I'm not a purist or a perfectionist, but I would. I was prompted by Amazon comment monitor to respond, so maybe this will be of some help. Have a nice day!
