Allan,

Thanks for the suggestion. However, my goal is to work directly on the panel like old masters did on wood panels. I have talked to Golden Paints and they recommend a 1:2 mixture of GAC100 with gesso as a primer. None the less my question is, Can one paint directly on the baked polyester surface? Will the paint adhere well like it does on poly canvas?
