@Moutere Duramax Granite effect

Entire Process:

-Light sand 240grit
-Wipe down with isopropyl (wore gloves from this point on)
-Taped all the inletting, stud holes etc.
-3 coats of grey
-1 coat of duramax granite effect
-Leave for 7 days to gas out
-3 coats of matte topcoat

The reviews of the duramax were shit, but I think people don’t follow the directions accurately and don’t use an appropriate topcoat.
It leaves a really nice gritty/grippy effect. The duramax also doesn’t spit out any colour. Just the black and white fleck. So what ever base coat you use will be the colour that comes through.

If you don’t want the fleck effect but just the grippy raised spots, doing the duramax first then your base colour over top would be very effective too.

Hope this helps someone.
