I tried Spies a couple of times,but it was a LONG time ago. I am sure it is a good product, but I did not care for the way the base layed out. Also,the base never seemed to dry hard like most paints, which made shaving the edges difficult. It was not as easy (for me) to work with (In a custom paint application) as others brands.The good point to the paint (If it has not changed) is that there was NO window from base to clear. That makes the long projects a little easier to deal with. (JMHO)
