I hope I will not have bad surprises.
I came across a vendor who had that same product and purchased some of the base coat colors and a sample pack of the clear. The clear looks superb from the samples I saw and the colors look to be accurate as well. The grain in the metallic colors was nice and fine.

I just finished applying the primer from the manufacturer "Gravity Colors" (Ref: GC-303). And the test of this primer is conclusive.
The result is perfect. This primer has good coverage and a very fine pigment, which is used to load certain place (to fill small defects) without giving an aspect charged the painted surface.
This primer dry pretty quickly, and her grip on the metal is exceptional.
Red is applied then sanded Micro-Mesh 4000. The application of red (basis) was made with the same success as the primer.

The varnish "Gravity Colors" has been applied.
Preparation of varnish two components is carried out according to the instructions of "Gravity Colors".
Application made with an airbrush "Badger 150".
Air pressure at the outlet of the compressor, 1.2 bars.
Varnish spray distance, about 4 to 5 centimeters with a more or less rapid movement.
Number of layers of varnish: 4.
A first thin layer for grip. Without wishing to give his shiny to the varnish.
A second more pronounced layer to define the gloss.
A third layer to provide the final gloss.
A fourth layer to give the thickness of the varnish, which will enable the sanding and polishing of the varnish.

Beautiful workmanship, Fabrice (as always!).
For a while there I was thinking it would be a shame to cover up all your clever metalwork with paint - but it does look even more amazing now :o)
