I'm curious about using tremclad clearcoat at the end with metalic flake in it. I'm not paint pro I'm starting from the bottom and learning from the internet how to do almost all of it. But it sounds like it would make sense to me.

Here's the 3rd coat:


Here's a direct shot:


You can see my dumb mistake in the direct shot. A fairly large piece of "fluff" landed on the paint right before I took the picture. It had already been on there for around 6 hours. It's pretty much dry but without thinking I swiped my fingers across it and left the rub marks.

So far the only way you can see the imperfections is if you get within 5 feet of the car and you look straight at it. From the side it looks amazing! It will definately be worth the investment if my whole car turns out this good. With the improvements I'm making from learning as I go this might just turn out really good.

A test piece is definately a must. I'm a little worried about runs. I haven't done anything vertical yet. We'll see how that goes on the car.
