Baracis, I'm guessing that's not Metalcast? Doesn't look like it is unless you're using crazy thick coats, lol.

It's 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint, and now I've got 2 super thick coats of clear on it. I'm using Krylon. I've used it before on lots of different stuff and I love it. I'm wondering if I should wetsand it tomorrow morning before I put it on?
