San Antonio — We applied Modesta P-01A primer to all the painted surfaces. It goes on like a polish. After setting up for a bit the excess is removed. We then waited the recommended time beforelogo starting the Modesta BC-04 application. This application is done with a wet applicator a wet microfiber towel and two dry ones.
