It was above the minimum reccomended temperature so I shook the can till my arm was tired and tried again. As you can see, the effort was worth it. |

As you can see, the first test piece was a disaster. |

Later I realized it was for polycarbonate RC car shells, but it didn't hurt the extra engine nacelle I tested it on, just took a lot of coats to get good color. |
