The polish the crap out of it technique is a good example of how this paint is totally different. Whatever your top coat looks like, is your finish. No flatting, no coating, no polishing. It takes 6 years to fully cure apparently.

It's exactly the same as chassis black I think... But a thinner coat if spraying of course. I think the theory being that the paint won't chip like modern hard paints.

That's not the impression I get from the website

Although polishing isn't mentioned (I'm going to check with them about this) they do say about "dealing with a drip" - that's let it dry - slice it off - sand and then repaint. This suggests to me that the stuff dries fairly quickly. (If you've ever tried to sand off not completely dry paint before you'll know how much fun that can be!)

That's what he's told me anyway, which is about all I can go on with this stuff..be interested to know if you get the same advice. I think he might be on the forum actually. @Paintman ?

Yep that's the guy.

He hasn't replied to the questions I asked in the thread I started - I guess he's on Easter Bunny duty. I'll try again after the holidays.
