Painting project

[Don Bradner]

Nason calls for 2 coats with metallic, but I find that it is color-specific
dependent on the amount of pigment in the paint. The gold has to go on very thin
or it will run - less solids, so it takes 5 coats. The red takes 2, and the blue
and silver take 3. Nason could probably be considered "econo Imron" and it is
not easy to tell how they differ, since Imron has a couple of non-clearcoat
products (3500 and 400) as well.
