I have not talked about this due to business nature, but I feel it may save someone a big problem.

The issues discussed above are a real problem for someone that does not have a perfect painting shop, or humidity & temperature controls. ( YES, I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE ) ! A pop riveted surface is hard to sand uniformly to correct problems. You will cut thru anything on the rivet head before you get everything smooth.
I would NOT use this paint without prior expereince, or LOTS of practice. It is very different from most spray painting applications. ( I have painted about 150 cars )
Of all the issues we early builders had, this mistake was avoidable on my part. I felt I was doing the correct thing environmentally, but in the long run, will create more of a mess having to re-do it. I do plan to re-paint the plane at some point. I think about it TOO often.
