So I will say when used properly the finish you get is amazing and it cannot be overstated the convenience of not having to buy and apply separate chrome and clear red paint. It worked perfectly well over G-Paints black paint. However, you have to use a LOT of it to really get the best effect. If you're going for a darker matte look then you are able to get away with just using 1 coat as I did with the shield shown. If you are going for the candy rich red like shown on Chars Zaku here you basically have to use half the bottle. As far as performance its amazing it just comes down to if the convenience is worth the amount used and spent for you. Overall would recommend and wanted to post pictures to help! P.S. little to no flakes!!!
