Yesterday I applied two layers of the tougher anti-scratch clear coat on top of the body.
I was too tired - ended up leaving drips all over the place. Bit of a disaster. Today I spent most of my time correcting yesterday's **** ups...
...but...
...finally there is matt clear coat on the body!
I'm a happy bunny today. (Yesterday less so)
It is exactly the effect I was trying to get. Yesterday with all the drips it just looked dreadful - today it looks delightfully dreadful!
There is a feeling of quality to it. The dull crappy metal finish shows all the character of this car - it makes it look really old - nice and old.
Once I get the other parts in matt clear coat too and the car assembled I have high hopes
(I realise this isn't a popular finish but I think it will be just what this doctor ordered)
