I recently had some experience with the Nelson paint. Initially I was not impressed, as I had wanted to match the green ultracoat color of my Sig Sukhoi. Nelson advertises a match for ultracoat colors. I purchased a pint of green and a pint of cream. The green was too dark, the cream was a perfect match. I used some of the cream to lighten the green, and eventually came up with a good match. I was repairing and repainting the fiberglass cowl of my Sukhoi.

Forget everything you know about traditional paints. This stuff is water based, but is totally unlike any latex you may have had experience with. If sprayed on in light coats it will fill the sanding marks left by Nelson's instructions. They recommend using nothing less than 320 for final sanding. I first tried 320 and a day later the paint lifted off in large rubbery sheets. Next day I scuffed up the surface with 220, and repainted. I applied six light coats in about an hour. It looks good with a fair gloss. I checked it this morning before coming to work. I think that after the paint has sufficient time to cure that it will be fine, but it still seems a bit rubbery.

Once you get over the traditional spray painting habits, this paint goes on great. If sprayed in multiple light coats it will not run.

As far as how durable it is, I will withhold comments until I find that out, but initial impressions are positive.

I really like the water cleanup, lack of over spray, and no odor.
