i only went to 400 on my chevy. took a few coats to flow out though, still showed some scuff marks on it here and there until the third coat. i ahve seen some misery jobs with trying to build one thick coat, so stay away from that mess. i think the key is don't let the paint dry fully before each coat, but don't go wet on wet. ( if that makes any sense. ) |

sand it out to some 400 then a couple coats usually smooths it out for me.

| I painted my Wraith with it because my LHS was closed. I think I did three coats, waiting a few minutes in between and rubbing it down between coats with a diaper. I painted the inside of the body black to help keep the factory graphics from showing through. It has held up pretty good brought a day of bashing with my five year old. |
