I've seen mixed results with this type of paint.
We have found another solution however...
Do your base coat with the paint of your choice. When its dry use an inexpensive undercoat gun to apply as many color speckles as you like. Use the same king of paint as the base coat.
Experiment with the gun before you do your final project. It takes low pressure... 15-25 lbs. More pressure = finer dots.... lower pressure = BIGGER dots.
The guns are available at most automotive stores and should be in the $20 range. Some come with a pot some not... it doesn't matter. Just hold a amall cup of paint under the gun and let the tube dip into it. Painting speckles only takes seconds to accomplish. Paint with the paint NOT thinned so it doesn't run.
Hope this helps
