Which surfaces give the best results with this paint?

Clean, primed plastic, resin and metal parts typically take the finish well; prepare surfaces by removing grease and dust for the best outcome.

How should I layer this paint when weathering?

Apply the metallic base first, seal if needed, then add washes or filters to create depth while preserving the metallic highlight.

Are there recommended cleanup and safety steps?

Work in a ventilated area, wear suitable protection and clean equipment with an appropriate solvent; follow local disposal guidance for leftover material.

Can I use masking tape directly on this finish?

Masking can be used once the paint is fully cured; test on a small area first and remove tape slowly to avoid lifting the metallic layer.

What are simple upgrade options for a stronger metallic effect?

Consider applying a high-gloss clear coat after the metallic has cured, or use light polishing to enhance reflectivity, testing compatibility first.
