Review: Latex on polyester skin

I make this simple, stick with oil based paint!

I am not impressed with latex at all. It was harder to apply and seal all the pin holes. It's still on the soft side after several weeks. Additional coats didn't appear to adhere well to the previous coats. The base coats seems to be well adhered to the fabric but of course one coat will not seal it.

The good is I like the look. It's easy to clean up and supposed to be easy to touch up. Which is good thing because it looks like I will be try it very soon.
