Thanks Kirk, I will give the 2x a go. I used the Krylon Acrylic UV protectant covering and have never been able to get that to lay down smooth. I knew I did not want to try Future/Pledge, whatever as it is so thin I was worried it would carry the paint away. I can not agree more about the ease of every aspect of the craft paint. It only took about 30 seconds to flash it and clean up was hot water and Dawn without getting in trouble with the girlfriend over all those chemicals I normally put down the sink?.
Mine is the AMT Gotham Police/Joker car as I bought two in an effort to get my girlfriend's son to do anything other than sit in front of the computer for hours on end. Unfortunately it has not inspired him and hopefully will be done within a week or two.
