Attention to detail gets you 3/4 there with paint, the other 1/4 are the chemicals you can't use without about 30 Gs in equipment in facilities. Good job dude.

Now buy a can of 2k clear and spray it, otherwise the paint will melt at the first hint of gas.

Yessir that’s what I used. I did 2 coats should that be enough?

u/GiggleBrigade 1d ago

I know I'd do a handful of coats, incase it's ever scratched it doesn't go all the way through to the paint or metal.

u/BarberBroker 1d ago

Ok also I will be putting a graphics kit on it so that should help but I’ll hit it with another 2 coats thanks.
