Hey Greg. I like that Teal! Speaking of brushes, I brushed BASF Limco on my tubbed engine cover. You can see the strokes a little but even w/o sanding it doesn't look half bad. As with the One Shot stuff, I think the consistency of the paint helped. (being able to mix it helps I'm sure) Didn't know of the One Shot product. Thanks for the link.
Neil.
