Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind comments. I'm quite proud of it considering it's my first model since I was a kid.

Woohoo! I finally got my clear coat! Lets finish this thing.

Hey, that's the same clear I use. I just threw away about a 1/3 of a bottle of hardner cause it flashed off in what I thought was a sealed can... I guess not!

Is it? I got this stuff from Sherwin Williams Automotive.

[eizzle]

Yeah, same stuff, except I got mine at a carquest.

[BluePopsicle]

Hopefully the weather today will allow me to clear it. I'm really excited to get it done.

[BluePopsicle]

Getting ready to spray 3rd and final coat of clear. Pics soon to come...

[BluePopsicle]

Progress pics. Long awaited clear coat is finished. Enjoy!

Thanks for looking!

thats a nice blue! nice job

[eizzle]

That sure is pretty! Did you thin your clear at all? I've found it goes on a lot smoother if I thin it down a little with 91% isopropyl alcohol.

[BluePopsicle]

no, just the standard 4:1 mix

New guy here, nice build!

What does this thin/clean up with rubbing alcohol? I thought I saw rubbing alcohol mentioned.

Woohoo! I finally got my clear coat! Lets finish this thing.

I use 91% isopropyl alcohol to thin my clear coat. I've got the same brand and type as blue Popsicle.

I've also used it to strip urethanes, works great.

I use lacquer thinner to clean up and thin paint.

[BluePopsicle]

LOL well get crackin. If I can get this thing finished, You can get your GTO done. You're a ton faster then me haha

[BluePopsicle]

Progress update: I got the car sanded, polished and waxed and IMO, it looked better before doing it. I put BMF everywhere it needed it and painted the engine compartment. Now it's time to start putting some stuff together....

Thanks for looking.

[eizzle]

Still looks good to me!

[BluePopsicle]

Thanks Colin! I think the next pics I take will be put in Under Glass. I'm going to shoot for having it done between tonight and tomorrow morning before work.
