I finally caved in and tried lustercote despite what people have been saying about it. I used there primary and followed the instuctions exact. My only complaint is that the Lustercote isnt even close to matching the monocote. The lustercote True Red is alot darker than the Monocote True Red. Does anyoneknow if i can do anything to make it match better? Other than it not matching I had no problems with the paint it went on smooth and glossy, just doesnt match worth a darn!

I've also used LustreKote with good results and it matched the True Red MonoKote pretty well. Did you apply the red over the LustreKote white primer?

I used true red lustercote and it matched perfectly the true red monocote. I did use lustercoat primer but that shouldn't make much difference.

Yep, I applied the True Red over top of the Lustercote primer and the match is horrible, its smooth and glossy but doesnt match at all. Is there anything I can do? It looks bad enough were I am thinking about not using the cowl at all! Any help would be appreciated!

Only thing you can do is repaint a different color. My true red matched up great, also. You sure the mono is true red?

The last couple cans I have used have been awfull. The color matched perfectly, but the can just kept spitting globs of paint. It was a total mess. Ive used it for years and only recently started to have problems. More importantly, the formula changed a few years ago and new cans are not compatible with those from the mid ninetys as I found out (the hard way)

Well i just realised why it doesnt match, stupid me forgot what color the monocote was!! The monocote color is missle red not true red lol! Can I sand the paint and put Missle red over top of my mistake?

I would just spray the new red over the top of what you have got. I have found that it might take a couple of coats but it will cover. Good Luck.
