Re: paint reaction

Bradfordian - when I used the "Zero" MP4 red paint I sprayed many very light coats until it colored up to achieve the correct opaqueness.
If you use heavy coats the solvents in the MP4 red attack the basecoat paint.
Try the technique out on a white plastic spoon

IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE VERY THIN COATS - ANY PLACE THE SOLVENTS CAN POOL THEY WILL ATTACK THE BASECOAT BEFORE THEY CAN EVAPORATE
