Thanks. The paint and clear is Dupl-iColor, a Honda metallic gray, and Dupli-Color primer. Very light sanding on the base coat, just to remove any overspray. I let the base cure for 3 weeks before clear. After clearing I used McGuires ultimate compound
to smooth it out. The painting was the worst part. I screwed it up the first time and had to strip it down to basically bare metal. Very time consuming. I'm glad I did it, but I might choose to have
it media blasted and powder coated if I do it again. Spraying lacquer is very tricky, especially in less than ideal conditions as it was this summer. Very humid and windy at the worst times.
