if you are still using electrical outlet covers I had a similar problem with them on second coats specialy around the corners , try something else .
I read you PM and it has helped. Still more questions. I sent a PM but here is the text anyway.

So, use 50,000 for all the coats? Coat the gold several times (cure then coat)? Not sure what to try it on, I do not want to go right on the caliper brackets until I got this down. What do you use to create color samples? The instructions on the Silverstone are 400 for 10 minutes. Still do the first coat for 120-150 for 20 minutes? Should I also recoat with gold while still warm or hot? Any help is greatly appreciated. Happy Holidays
