If you are going over previously painted hardened enamel, I know of 1 case where a friend tried to put another coat on but was out of hardener so just reduced the enamel and it made fish eyes the size of dinner plates. I loaned him some DRX 80 and after he cleaned up the mess it went on fine. Message here is once you use the catalyst, you need to keep using it on successive coats. Good luck.

Good to know. I am not going over the previously painted housing, so that will not be an issue. I will just be doing the base plates.
Is the DRX80 still available (my can is rock hard), or has it changed its name? What would replace the DTR reducer?
The fun part is that after I shoot the plates, I then have to let it dry and wipe off the high parts of the letters and lever tracks.
