Hemi, please re-read my post as I said the poster paint came off, but the 2.0 held fast.

Yes, that Dulux epoxy paint does take a LONG time to dry! My experience too We get used to very fast drying paints, and more specialized paints can take much longer. But that it should have make a dust for you is most curious.

Nick painted a board one side with 2.0 the other with 3.0. The 3.0 is significantly "blacker". We now have a donor Newt that we'll paint with the Black 3.0. We are now on the lookout for a donor frac. We'll be subjecting these test scopes to the same conditions as our own gear, in storage and out in the field, and see how the paint handles these conditions after some time. If anyone in Sydney has a little frac they would like to donate, please let either Nick or myself know.

Alex.
