And did you thin it down the same way he recommends?
I did a 1:10 ratio of Candy and intercoat clear and maybe a drop or two of HPR and that's it. I did a light tack coat first then sprayed as usual. The Candy20's are thinner...so i lowered the psi from 50 to maybe 30 and built my layers like i would any other candy paint.
