I brushed the Seat Back, and it does not look so bad, the brush strokes give it character. Then I went to a Fly-in and saw some really beautiful jobs. I still am thinking maybe I want to spray it. So the next question. ......When brushing the Trainer Blue Poly Tone which has the silver added I mixed everything in glass jars. If I waited even only 5 minutes the silver would settle to the bottom. With the glass jars it was easy to shake and see. I have been told that spraying silver matalic paint is difficult because of this settling. I did find a reference to a $1000 pressure pot with a mixing propeller turned by the air pressure to keep the matalic powder mixed.

Any tricks, special guns etc. I should be considering. I would guess with a simple siphon or gravity gun one just keeps shaking it is that correct.
