Nick I have found that about 10 to 12 inchs with short and quick stokes does the best for me.Digger[:)][C):-)][:)]

Fisch:-
I’m no expert, but I suggest you prime first. The only metalizer finish I ever did turned out beautiful, and I primed with flat white acrylic first. Let it cure for at least two days before spraying the metalizer, or prime with a laquer or enamel first. That will also show up any flaws in the plastic too.

I think i got all the steps sand, polish, prime, apply several light coats, seal, apply decales, then seal again.

Thanks again for all your help
