Krylon Short Cuts Spray Paint, 3oz., Hunter Green

I've used Krylon Short Cuts Gold Leaf several times now, and each time the projects have come out just as wonderfully as I hoped they would. The first project I used it on was to highlight intricate details on a French style solid wood vanity I was updating. I finished it with clear wax and it has held up without an issue for over a year now. The second project I used it on was glass treat jars with metal lids. I glued toy dogs to the jar lids and I adhered vinyl stencils to the glass, primed both sections with a universal bonding primer, sprayed them gold, and then sealed them with Krylon Cover Maxx Crystal Clear Acrylic in Satin. They turned out wonderfully and they were well received as gifts.

My purpose in using Krylon Short Cuts is painting models. I have used various model spray paints that have produced uneven results of success. I was reluctant to try Short Cuts, but have found it performs with (pun or no pun intended) FLYING COLORS! I don't get the "orange peel" effect as I often experience with other products sometimes. In my case, I use a light coat of primer on bare metal, and then as recommended, light coats passing over the object, respraying after it dries if necessary. And of course temperature / humidity are important considerations, as neither extremes are conducive to attaining acceptable results. The success I have experienced with Short Cuts prompted me to write a review as I want to share what had been a secret to me for so long.
