    Wannabe, Dust coat and two medium coats with the rattle can.
    May have got a little run in the back of one cowl where I was
    trying to get the paint down a deep pocket. (hand grab).
    I’m mixing paint systems, so am taking a chance of something
    not turning out, but there’s only one way to find out if I can
    save a few bucks!
    I used DupliColor Engine primer, then Effenaco Polychromatic Blue.
    Seemed to be no issues with that mix match.. so far.
    Hopefully the DupliColor Engine Clear isn’t a problem over the Blue.
    Going to wait on that until I paint the silver on the hood and get
    the decals!

    I’ve received no input on this previous paragraph……

    "P.S.- The "cast" letters "Forward, Neutral and Reverse" appear from photos
    to be just painted over blue as I have them now. They don’t really
    "pop" out this way. Anyone paint them to pop out, or sand the
    tops of the letters off to make aluminum color magically appear?
    Would be interested in seeing and or learning about your results."
    Thoughts? Thanks!
