: I've done it both ways. Colored epoxy makes an adequate base-coat

Thanks Dan. I did thin it with the 2333N, I think about 20%. I think my problem arose from not sanding it adequately which caused the paint to not adhere in a few places. I think I will tint the epoxy next time, thanks for the suggestion
