HoK paint dries so fast. Makes multiple masks quick. It takes 20x more time to develop the mask than to shoot it. The other great thing is how smoothly it lays down. None of the other paint systems flowed out so smooth it seems. I think the clear coats will be a breeze and the subsequent rub out will be much easier. BTW, the clear I'm using is Klass Kote three part urethane. It lays down much better than their epoxy paints and cures pretty hard in one day, ready for rubbing.
If you shoot HOK like it's supposed to be with multiple dry coats, it feels like silk.

I haven't used Klass Kote's clear. I like to use stuff from the same paint system, so I stick with HOK clear.
