1. did you prep your tails before you started applying the metalcast red? if so how did you prep it?
2. how many layers did you use of the metalcast, were the light layers?
3. i saw that you said you waited for them to dry and then sanded and polished them til they were shiny again before applying the next layer, correct? and the last layer of red you didn't sand or polish?
4. You used the whole can of spramax, did you do this in a bunch of light layers or just all at once?
Thanks, and sorry for bringing up an old post!

I feel like I keep repeating myself lol, i'm pretty sure I have answered every question here but I will go through it again.
1. no - I cleaned my tails very well, then just started spraying.
2. 3-4 coats of metalcast. Yes, thin coats, take your time, and go until you have reached the desired darkness of color.
3. I only sanded in between the metalcast coats when I needed to (ex. if dirt/dust/hair got on the coat). I did NOT sand on the last coat of metalcast. The last coat was sprayed, let dry, then went into clearing.
4. I did not use the whole can of spraymax. I did 4-5 coats of clear (which was probably overkill but the can is useless after you mix it after 24hrs). Same process as the metalcast. Light layers, if you spray it on too heavy you will get run marks.
Hope this helps!
