Can a second coat be applied with the DAR paint after the paint on the engine has dried ? And as far as gloss goes with the 15-20% flattner added should the paint still look like a gloss just not as much ?

Yes, but it has to be in the 45 minutes to one hour window, or you have to wait 48 hours before recoating.  I ordered paint after I picked up yours and shipped it to you because I noted the difference in the blue vs. the rattle can paint. The blue is so much better looking than the spray, isn't it?

Anytime. I have a quart here now too and the needed reducers and catalyst. I stuck a plastic spoon in your paint and let it dry, then compared to the rattle can product. No comparison. That prompted me to call Joe and order paint for myself. I didn't realize it had lead in it. I have a respirator, so I am not overly concerned with the small quantities being used. I am glad all worked out for you.
