I bought Sunny Yellow, Royal Blue, Kelly Green, and Ruby Red. Gave everything 2 coats and it seemed to cover pretty well. I figure a little uneven-ness is OK because the netting covers and breaks it up, plus the coloring on the real ones is a little swirled and uneven. The teal color is one coat blue then one coat green, the orange was mixed about 3 parts yellow and 1 part red then painted on. I didn't get the clear coat to put over the top; I figure the netting will help protect them and it's not like tree ornaments get that much wear and tear. I've got 3 netted and 4 more to go. Mike
