I'm not sure I follow it, since the color should be the same, right? You can paint one at a time, but again, I'm no expert on what you said about mix with reactors. I hope you're not brewing some Uranium.

Do them all at once - or at least within and hour or two. The reactor sets the paint up as hard as epoxy in several hours. So have everything you want to paint ready to go before you mix, and then proceed. I have used the G2 on my GSR and the Max with great results, but you don't get a chance to touch up later.

So once is mixed there is no way to save dome for later... I mean the one in the can not the after is painted....

Read that yellow piece of paper they come with..... you have a four hour window before the paint dries to a big glob.

I had to paint all mine at the same time. It's not that bad. Just take your time and put on even thin coats. I had to put about 4 on before it was nicely coated.

Yeah even if you seal the paint back up in the can it still eventually becomes too thick.
