The used product: The transparent Raptor-Liner is mixed with hardener up to a mark inside the bottle, then if you like to colour it, add 10% Volume of the preferred Acrylic paint ( no additional hardener needed ). Then shake it for 2 minutes and spray it with an undercoat gun. Viola worked...

Hello Alan, thank you for the compliment. ^_^ I hope i will not disappoint you with trip reports. I am not the "great photographer". The landscapes in europe are more cozy and not as wide and phantastic as you have in the US. Also in western europe there are not so much unpayed byways and...
