yes i am very satisfied w the results. there are more pantos over this 3V frame, all came out relatively sharp considering its PC'd.
I'm starting to think that spraying Dupli-Color over Rustoleum primer is asking for adhesion problems.
other than adhesion problem, what i found is that the clear coat gives the enamel a big of 'expanding' effect. it was pretty tight when just enameled, then became a very thick strong group of paint layer once CC'd. wrong clear coat—Moeller is meant to be used for engine blocks and hauls underwater. thought it was gonna be more durable indeeed—perhaps? i dunno. maybe lil' bit of everything?
P.S. - Any connection to all these orange bikes and you forum name?
hell, yes. i have degrees in art and graphic design and 'orangeology' was my MFA thesis subject dealing 'data visualization of personal/impromptu history via a subjective color choice'. you'll see more orange stuffs from me going forward i can assure.
