Bill, to get the finish you got in the photo are you using Dupli-color primer? And, are you starting with any mist coats, or , are you pretty much shooting wet coats?
Chris, I'm not having, (well at least most of the time, lol) a problem with the surface being rough, it's very smooth, so I could get the cloudy effect out with just polish? I've never done, and , have this incredible fear of using the polishing clothes. I need to paint a practice body and then jump in that way, or , better yet do it with thes spoon that is the basis for this thread..
