I know how everyone wants a perfect glass-like finish on their latest creation but two part polyurethane paints are not to be used by anyone except professional painters. A simple paint mask is nowhere near enough protection. I have a good friend who is a pro painter and he had some serious problems using Imron. Do yourself a favor and stay away from these things unless you really know what you are doing.
