Would you believe there was white primer underneath? See the previous posting/comment, another member suggested that. Maybe the photos weren't bouncing off the "white" clearly. Maybe I shot these pics with less light...

Now you are confusing me; are you referring urethanes as the automotive lacquer? These lacquer based paints (Scale Finish) evaporate as they dry.

My understanding of the urethanes are cured via a harder.

Two different types, no? Maybe we are not using the same terms?...

Possible that I may be using too much thinner, but I never had my paints (All types) fully drying on me less than ten minutes. If I can achieve that, it would be fantastic I'd start polishing in 30 minutes then.
