Default krylon fusion paint.........

i bought some to use on my styrene clod body and this stuff goes on thick looking even in light coats....but when it is dry it such a thin coat that it shows every scratch from sanding the body with 220 grit ....who has used this stuff and how fine did you go with sand paper....i have 400 and 800 wet/dry black oxide paper yet to try, thx all.........bob

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.

yeah i put it on in light coats every few minutes so it wasn't wet....first light coat just looked like a mist job, waited bout 3 minutes then dusted/misted it again till even....i like the the way it looks and the way it looks like it is going to finish out as ........bob

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.
