 FLECK STONE
 
WHY DOESN'T MY PROJECT MATCH THE COLOR OF THE CAP?
It might be that too much background color of the object being painted is coming through. Apply a coordinating color to the object before applying the Fleck Stone Basecoat. This is especially helpful when painting a large object. Several lighter coats are preferable to heavy coats otherwise the Fleck Stone becomes thick and heavy looking, and could possibly cover some of the details of the item being painted.

WHY DIDN'T I GET THE ENTIRE PROJECT COVERED?
Fleck Stone Basecoat is not your standard spray paint. The average coverage for a can is as little 5 square feet to as much as 20 square feet, depending on the background color and the amount of textured effect you desire. The closer the background color is to the Fleck Stone Basecoat, the greater the coverage per can of Fleck Stone.

WHY DOES THE COLOR LOOK LIGHT IN SOME SPOTS AND DARK IN OTHER AREAS?
Fleck Stone Basecoat needs to be applied evenly over the entire surface. Shake the can at one minute intervals to maintain th color consistency and remember that several light coats are preferable to one heavy coat.

DO I HAVE TO USE A PRIMER COAT BEFORE I USE FLECK STONE?
A primer coat is not necessary, but some items benefit from a primer because of their porous surfaces. Keep in mind, if your object to be painted is large, begin first with a multi-purpose in a comparable shade to the Fleck Stone Basecoat to cover the surface. Then apply the Fleck Stone for texture and interest as opposed to coverage.
