There was a lot of learning on this paint project. I think the HOK paint is so easy compared to the other systems. Plus the sheer number of colors available is mind boggling.

It's expensive but it's good. Buying it from Coast controls the expenses since they will sell as little as 1 ounce. It takes two weeks to get to you so if you're in a hurry, well, wait....

I I think the next paint job will be easier and less expensive. I tended to overshoot on the current project to assure coverage but realized that often coverage was fine as the paint dried. Another lesson I learned is that most paint could be thinned 50:50 but their neons were better, easier at only 25% thinner.

I'm shooting clear today so I better get cracking

Pat thanks for the tips on the paints and everything you covered. And my delta masks worked great. I'll post snaps tomorrow.
