Clearcoat and decals (Read 9 times)

clueless-FSO Senior Member Offline Posts: 454 Birmingham, Al Gender:	Clearcoat and decals 09/22/05 at 07:05:22 Made some tank decals, put them on and have 3 light coats of clear( rattle can) on. I'm not sure if I should be able to lightly buff the finish or what. I've seen some nice work on here. Any ideas? Thanks, Jim added pic

"rattle can paint "has no hardner in it,when i paint mine this time,with the air compresser,im adding hardner to every coat. 8)

I used PJ1 paint and clear coat from a rattle can and it worked pretty good. Just do not use "clear laquer" , because it will wrinkle the paint under. Use "clear epoxy paint " . Once it is cured, it is pretty good. Couple of times at the gas station I spilled gas on the tank , but i cleaned it fast and there were not visible damages.
