Thanks Old Man and Mike! I'll give sanding a try in a few days then. (FWIW, I did use a Badger battery-powered mixer to stir the paint first, as I had heard it was important). Next time, I'll try adding a little thinner, maybe some retarder to see if that makes a difference. All the best, Tom Test

I'm almost done building my Hawk 48th P-51D. I used Tamiya spary paint, followed by a coat of Future, then decals and weathering - but now I'm in trouble. I decided to brush on PollyScale Flat for my final flat coat, since I'd heard such great things about it. The bottle says it can be brush-painted.

I am yet another member of the club. Dan Godoin was very unpleasant to deal with, sent me items in a trade that were incorrect AND damaged, AND it took forever. He's a legendary jerk, and I heard from several other who have had troubles with him. Tom Test
