Thanks Builder. I'll take all this into account. I've heard some folks say to that for the final top coat, so spray 1 or 2 mist coats of the 2k Clear Glamour before doing a wet coat. I'm going to give that a shot. I sprayed an Ironman faceplate last week as a practice project. I used Tamiya Fine...

Sure thing. You should start a thread about Alclad and ask for tips and post your pics there. I'm trying to keep this thread about Alumaluster, which is it's own temperamental paint.

I've got both the Anovos bucket and one of Jsin's newer helmets (arrived this past April). I do love the surface finish, and the more accurate alumaluster paint on the Jsin. But there's some pretty significant flaws including a really noticeable raised dimple around one of the temples. Plus, I...
