Hi Chris. True, the Klass Kote takes longer to cure than PPG Concept or Omni, but it is very durable when hardened. It's somewhat safer to use than PPG paints for the average guy like me.

On the Monokote quality, man, don't even get me started. I gave up on it for anything that requires buying new stock. My (now deceased) Integral had Monokote covered wings, only because I had stock from about 7 or 8 years ago which was still reasonably good. However, after the experience I had doing a 40% Extra for a friend about 3 or 4 years ago, I've sworn off buying any more of it. I literally had Monokote from 4 different hobby shops in NJ and New Hampshire, some of it bought over a period of several months, and it was all unacceptable. Not even worth going into the details again. The end of an era I guess.
