I was an epoxy floor installer, and am familiar with resin issues, but my jobs required multiple gallons of product. I don't think that much product is needed for a cobra paint job.

This is a fairly simple mix I happen to have on my laptop, it's grabber orange, very few base materials, and what you are looking at is measured in 1/10th of a gram. This was a custom mix and tint as I had original paint under the side stripes of my old 69 GT500 I could match off of.

Looks simple, but try and pour to 1/10th of a gram accurately and you'll see the issues at hand. U7124 (150 grams worth) I had to drive 120 miles to northern, NJ to get from another shop, it was that short handed at the time I was getting ready to spray the car (two days before my shop auction). Body wise, since it was well seasoned, I cannot tell you, unless i was like the very early white body from FFR, a true nightmare to work with. Only a 100 watt bulb in a shop light underneath would tell that tale.
