I have had great success with Norrelss heat cured moly resin on both metals and plastics. I do have a couple questions answered before I approach my next refinishing job.  

1. Is the air dry product as durable as the heat cured product?

2. Can I mix the heat cured products to make customs colors i.e Flat Blk with Flat OD Grn?

3. Will the moly resin adhere to a blued or polished surface as good as a media blasted surface?

Hmmmm, I don't know.

2. Can I mix the heat cured products to make customs colors i.e Flat Blk with Flat OD Grn?

Yes.

3. Will the moly resin adhere to a blued or polished surface as good as a media blasted surface?

No.  It needs some surface texture to adhere well.  Bead blasting doesn't do it.  You need a mild abrasive and the best way to do that evenly is a blasting cabinet.  A parkerized surface is just about perfect.  I don't know of any spray-on coating that will adhere well to a polished surface.

Of course, you can always ask John Norrell.
