DON'T use 2-pack paints without an air-fed mask.  Irreversible damage to
brain and even sudden death can occur - and have!

>From what I understand (certainly true of the professional who sprayed my
Fastback) if you don't use 2-pack primers, you can't use 2-pack top coats.
Stick to the same system throughout.
The reason is the 2-pack system hardens chemically in a short time; the
other systems take much longer to harden and stabilise.  That's why you can
cut and polish 2-pack the next day, but have to wait several weeks with
some paints to get the surface settled and hard.
