I adopted it 40 years ago ... André Mauric's admirals cup \ "Nausicaa \", the horned yawl \ "Rose Noire II \" and now \ "Piou \", \ "Muddy \ "\ r \ nI like its flexibility, the quality of its resins, its resistance, its ease of application ...
In contrast to competing products, the lacquer does not crystallize in the resealed can after opening. It is very economical and if you stick to the Epifanes paint system, you get a very nice result.
The silk matt lacquer is easy to work with and gives an excellent result. You can't see the paint in the result (despite having been painted 5 times) and the result is a glowing grain. In addition, the surfaces are extremely hard-wearing. Damage is easy and invisible. Important: Always start with diluted paint, then it will be great!
