Did I mention that the "Glitter" paint is a royal, double-decker pain in the arse to use?
Yeah, I'll cee that and raise it one wire brush enema...
Glitter paint sux!Different can of glitter paint. First one was Krylon, second was Rustoleum. Same result. I started last night, sanded down the ugly spots, put another coat on. It looked good at first, then Ka-Blammo! Right in the middle of the driver's side, a big blob of gray snot.
I went to the other side, sanded things down, shook the can and gave it another try. Similar, possibly worse results. I let it sit overnight, went out this morning and tried to do some "color sanding" with 1200 grit sand paper. No luck, just dulled the green around the gray blobs.
Now ya'll know I'm not one to give up on something... ("You've rebuilt that engine HOW MANY times?" Yeah, like that.) But I'm cutting my losses on this one. If it is my destiny to drive the all-black Batmobile/Slotus, so be it. The green/gray glitter/snot "paint" is coming off and my old friend "Matte Black" is going back on.
Sorry, MV8, it was a good suggestion. It's my execution of your idea that fell down.
Peace, Love and Monochromatic-
JDK
