Firstly, the paint I was calling '324' is actually 342. So what, right?
Well, I'll need to know this because I will be ordering
lots more of the same!
As with the previous Protec paint I tried, this one too is very easy to spray, but when they say "light" first coat, you better listen. I deliberately tried an area too wet first coat & had to pick it up off the floor, well nearly.
The finish 'off the gun' is first rate when instructions are followed. Giving good flow and high coverage. I gave 3 coats in total. It is possible to get too much orange peel, but subsequent coat/s can fix this if noticed early enough. The level of gloss is just perfect for what I am wanting, WITHOUT ADDING FLATTENING BASE! I did include hardener, and noted that paint was tack free in 10-20 minutes. It was able to take a hard press from my hand after 90 minutes without marking.
Despite covering really well, the enamel paint did not fill imperfections, but that also meant that wheel markings are still easily readable.
I did the painting out in the open, and today was windy, but for some unknown reason there is less dust in these wheels than I expected. I have had much more s%&t in paint when spraying in a booth! Fact that it's 'lustreless' helps hide it too. Use of a tack rag didn't hurt either.
