There are three layers on there now. The whole fuselage was painted battleship gray first. That first color went on well. The black trim second color was where the issues began. The gray was on for quite awhile before the black. Stewart’s System does go on thicker than anything I have sprayed. And some small parts I painted gray earlier had a thicker layer of paint as I learned how to spray SS. Had no problems with the gray.

The mil thickness of the Aerothane is fairly thin. The Stits rep said three coats but I was satisfied with the color saturation and look after two.
