Painting with jelly


Bright boat

I know what the worlds worst paint for spraying is: Revel Fluorescent Yellow.

It’s very jelly like in the tinlet, not improved much by stirring. This isn’t a rogue pot either – I’ve bought from different shops at either end of the country, such is my dedication. Trouble is, only Revel make fluorescent yellow as an enamel.

Still – mix in some Precision general purpose thinners (about 3:1 paint:thinner) and it goes on. A hair drier stops the runs. Strangely you get a matt finish but it’s the brightest matt finish paint you’ll ever see !
