CJ1971 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Looks sweet Jonathan... But why are you waiting a couple of days to clear coat?? Usually it's done same day... Sometimes within the same hour, if there's no colour sanding needed ? Cheers Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
