    just remember that an etch paint is not UV tolerant and it will eventually chalk up a bit (depends on how long it spends out of the cupboard ) and a primer isn't water proof, some do pretty well for a while but they will let it through eventually

    Reckon a top coat would be a good idea?

    if it gets wet alot yes... even if you put primer back on top for that "flat look", one good layer of colour should be enough to seal it from moisture (gloss seals best)

    Cheers Beavis

    Leathel, my application is for a bush pig, only out the cupboard 2 x a month, was thinking if it gets scratched or looking a bit shit, just spray another couple of coats on, cheers for the heads up though.
