Default Painting Calipers

I just bought the Dupli-color caliper paint kit.

Has anybody used it before? Any tips? I probably wont use it for a week or 2, its not even in the 70's yet

how many coats did you end up needing? I bought the red kit if that helps.

2 coats.... its almost too easy. you could do 3 coats if you want but its not needed. Make sure the surface is clean, and paint away..

around 200 for both sides.... and it wasnt the entire door, justy a part of it... but nbm is one of the hardest colors to match.... so i would rather fork over the $ and have it done right, thats why i paid kinda a lot...
