Pan Finish Coat




Here ya go. The finish coat of Master Series is a bit more difficult to work with than the primer. I'm using Satin Black. This is a two part system, color and hardener. First go round, I didn't think the base color, and it was a b***h to apply, it laughed at the foam brushes and tore them up. Roller didn't work either, but the brushes did. Got some runs, sanded/scuffed them out, and tried again, this time thinning the color down to a usable viscosity before adding the hardener. Careful how much you batch up - too much for your area and you'll waste the finish paint, it will set up like rubber even in a closed container. Blend up just enough for what you intend to paint, this may take trial and error. If properly thinned the paint will apply easily, but will start to thicken up after 30 minutes or so, so I typically only batched up enough to get applied before that time.
