Painting Instructions:

Step 1. Mix up three separate mixtures of Soft Gel (Gloss) with each of the Fluid colors: Interference Oxide Red, Iridescent Pearl, and Interference Orange.

Step 2. Using a putty knife, apply stripes of each color running parallel to each other and allow to dry. It is okay if some "skips" in the finish appear.

Step 3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 using mixtures of the three Fluids mixed with Soft Gel (Semi-Gloss) and apply the stripes in the opposite direction. Allow the surface to dry.

Step 4. Apply thinner bands of Fluid Iridescent Pearl mixed with Soft Gel (Gloss) over a few of the larger bands and draw texture into it using the palette knife. Repeat in the opposite direction with a mixture of Fluid Interference Orange mixed with Soft Gel (Gloss). Allow the surface to dry.

Tips:

• Apply more layers to add visual complexity. However, be sure to allow areas below each layer to show through the following layers.
