Like the title says, I used VHT Niteshades and Duplicolor clear coat. I still have to wet sand and buff which I have never done. I have 15 years of residential and commercial painting experience but nothing to speak of in auto finishes.
Tails and 3rd brake: 2 coats VHT and 5 coats clear
Heads and Fogs: 2 coats VHT and 5 coats clear also, but they look like I mixed some deepwater blue in the clear. I dont know why they came out like this but they almost match the paint perfectly. Definetly not the plan, however a nice little surprise.
