i'm perfecting the fine art of completely screwing up nice looking plugs in the final stage.

it was sweet til i got greedy and tried one more coat of clear after waiting too long between coats.
the fresh stuff attacked everything that had already started to set up

is the yellow oil base and the orange something else? I remember having that happen with a base color and a black over spray. AT the time I got pissed and wiped it off so I don't remember the combination of paints. Now I wish I could replicate it....

nope both krylon short cuts rattle cans.
not sure on the formula but florescent dries really fast and solids dry slower.
silver or gold same thing.dries really fast.
you can get krackle rattle cans. but i just stumbled onto this combo.
i show you in about an hour
