2. The amount of coats applied will determine the depth of the colors..
3. The Speckled Stroke & Coats base color match the regular Stroke & Coats.  The last two numbers of the Speckled Stroke & Coats match the regular Stroke & Coats eg.  SP215 Speckled Tuxedo matches SC015 Tuxedo.
4. Stroke & Coats can be used as an antique by applying 1 coat of the color then wiping back with a damp sponge, then you can apply other colors over that.
