Only one coat of color?
and one coat of clear (gloss)?
I am impressed.

What did you use to spray with?
Also, were all of the materials: primer, color paint and clear,
were they all "oil based" products?

Thanks. Toppscore

hi topscore , the paint came in aerosol spray cans , so cover what you can with what you got it'll probably get 2 coats of colour and 2 of clear then sanded and buffed after a month or so and yes the paints are all nitro cellulose , cheers
