But even still, red, white, and a few other colors have weak coverage without a base coat.
Looks good though as far as texture is concerned. DYC sprayer is pretty solid and is great to just pick it up and DIY.

I did lay 2 coats of gunmetal, 1 gallon for full coverage. Now with 3 gallons of white I've done 4 coats, 6 total. I'd say maybe 90-95% coverage. I've got 2 more gallons on the way to be safe. I also bought 3 spray cans of white to get into those hard to hit spots before the gallons get here. Since I peeled some I have to fix a few pulled up spots with dip fix, use more of the cans for those to cover, then lay a last coat of white in the gallons. Then I think ill mask some issue pull up spots and lay the gloss. Should all be here Wednesday.
