The SEM DID curdle. But it was not the SEM's fault. It was the #$@*^ Krylon primers' fault. These flipping aerosol paints are NOT the same as they used to be. I used Krylon satin black for many years, and like Mr. Lillard professes to be, am lazy as far as prepping and can't wait for the stuff to dry. I have finger prints in most everything I have ever repainted. Except the OLD Krylon, which was dry in 15 minutes.... 5 in the sun! And it was almost impossible to make it run. The new stuff runs if you even think about more than a dry coat. They claim they haven't reformulated, but many others say all the manufacturers did several years ago because of VOC regs.
I just spent 5 hours touching up my engine bay before my rebuilt motor goes back in. Was trying to match the catalyzed epoxy that is on it. Found semi-flat Krylon to be the closest sheen match. Actually went on pretty good.
