TSPS, I know I may take alot of flack for this but if you want to speed through the process on your first (probably of many) plugs you could skip the sealer and start with a spray primer. Keep in mind that skipping the sealer may reduce the life of a plug. I dont know what wood that kit is turned from. Start with a simple paint scheme and build the kit. Keep it simple. You'll learn alot in a short time, especially if you hang around here.

Skipping the sealler will have his paint peeling off after the 2nd or 3rd time he uses the plug. Most newebies make the mistake of rushing and not letting every layer dry.
