We are going to find an answer to the myth related to the feasibility of industrial paints on kits.

TEST SUBJECT: Spare trees
Spray distance about 20cm (below recommended distance of 30cm)

Chrome over a dark blue tree.

Both sprays are effective and does not melt the tree. The product is also relatively scratch resistant. The spray although is wide-angled, but the pigments in spray is definitely sufficient to paint the parts in one coat.

What do you think?
You decide.
