With the Klass-Kote epoxy do you apply a final clear coat? Does it get hard enough polish out (I had used Hobby-Poxy and that stuff needed years to get hard enough to polish out)? I like the epoxy material, could you describe your finishing method to keep it light.
It doesn't have the "cures like rubber" effect of Hobby Poxy. I actually think it is essentially the same product as HobbyPoxy, but that every single can of HobbyPoxy is long, long past it's shelf life. Al Rabe told me he never had any issues with it back in the day. I suspect that Petit made one run of HobbyPoxy paints, in the 60's, and then sold it off ever after, past the expiration date or not.
It is not the rock-hard cure of SuperPoxy, which was like refrigerator enamel, but still plenty hard enough.
I have only used clear in cases where I was going to polish it, car paint urethane. The clear KlassKote is amber, but they make a two-part urethane clear, too, which I have and will try probably next week on a repair. Properly applied, the colors come out very shiny.
The process I use is here:

By the way, in a pinch, or a non-critical operation, it brushes on pretty nicely, much better than dope, and will level out brush strokes to a reasonable degree.
