I picked up a can of that stuff too. Won't be using it on my current build but plan on busting it out for the next one. Looking forward to seeing how this goes here.

I think it sprays quite nicely from the can. Haven’t tried decanting it.

That's cool. I used that once before and still didn't manage to get a smooth even coat. That being said, I do admit it does go on better than anything else I've ever tried.

One thing that I did to help it a bit was to warm the spray can using the hottest tap water from the faucet. I let it sit for about three to five minutes in the water, then sprayed. It went on airbrush fine.

My room is unbeaten unheated, so I’ll run two solacespace heaters to bring it up to operating temp. U also will set items under a lamp to warm them.

I promise, English is spoken in this house.

Got the yellow leading edges painted. I think they may be a bit wide, though. I promise they are really yelllow.

After more than a few tries to mask off the yellow portion to paint it, I finally decided it would be easier to paint the yellow, mask that and paint the green and gray again.

Hic.....I always have a plan. Whether or not it is a good/viable/reasonable plan is always up for debate.

Well I kinda meant the build rather than the overspray, but I think you plan will work.
