First 2 coats of clear. Looks the same but better!
Fantastic! Can't wait to see it together and in daylight!
Wonderful! How many coats of clear will you have in total?
In reply to brandonsmash :
Planning on 4. Trying to smooth out the numbers as much as possible.
Final coat of clear is on! I stopped at 3 because I'm happy with the way it layed down. Still plenty of cutting and buffing needed!
Honest question from the peanut gallery. Do you do anything to the finish between the final color coat and the first coat of clear, or between coats of clear?
With the yellow car I shot the color and then 2 coats of clear as wet on wet. So no sanding between coats. On this car, because of the layering of the colors to do the numbers and the stripes, it was necessary to let the paint cure before taping, which meant that I also had to scuff between each color change. Once all of the colors were on, I scuffed the entire body before the first 2 coats of clear, and then scuffed again before the last clear coat. Summit recommended not applying more than 2 coats of the clear without scuffing for subsequent coats.
Love it Rand!
It will take some time before I can get it outside, but the body is back on the chassis!
Well, that certainly looks the part....race car !!

It's going to be more of a "poser" but "race car" is the look I was going for!
Fantastic!

Next detail checked off the list!
Man, that looks awesome!!!
I hadn't checked this thread in a little while- WOW what a difference! this thing is coming in HOT!
Wheels unwrapped.
These wheels were on the car when I bought it. They look like they have never been driven on the road, but the chrome rings seem to be a separate piece, and have several dents and dings in them. Does anyone know if the rings are remove able or replaceable?
Put the car on the ground and moved it so that I could get the LS Miata out. Thought it pushed great!
