reason they have not managed to put two gallons of paint into a box and
get
it out and it is tuesday. I called them to ask when it would ship, and I

You do know about the smooth prime horror stories, I hope?
The OP may know, but I don't and may not be alone. So please enlighten me
as I still plan to build a plastic composite aircraft.

"matched" top coat - "Top Gloss" was removed from the market, it
stained, chalked and flaked off quickly
