My shop is in Valdosta Georgia - 10 miles north of Florida on I 75. Yes the acrylic enamel can be a bit soft if not hardened properly. I most always put a couple coats of urethane clear over the top - I have also mixed clear and acrylic enamel and it works well as a top coat. This makes a sandable and buffable coat. I usually us the basecoat/clearcoat system with any pearls and metal flake or custom paints. It shoots much easier and allows the flakes to fall more evenly.
