Re: New painting

Best I can tell you is to follow the directions on the paint can, 100%.. <br /><br />Most paints are manufactured to be used as a system of products from primers, thinners, and paints specific to each brand.. <br /><br />Stick to using one brand of products.. Don't use brand B's primer, then use brand P's paint thinned with brand X's thinner or solvents... Results won't be good...
