Four more coats of clear were applied on Saturday and now it's ready for wet sanding and buffing!

 

Nice.

Looks like something out of the seventies.

Thanks Eric!

It was going to be a really bright red (solid color) until I saw the new Harley metal flakes. Funny you should mention the seventies--that (~1977) was the last metal flake job my father-in-law did at his body shop. This was done with a Flake Buster which is kind of neat--you apply your base coat then clear coat and this gizmo shoots on metal flakes like snow. There is 100% coverage of flake (or really near 100%). Then you clear the s&%# out of it (stopping after about 3 coats on the metal flake, let it cure, wet sand and then more clear). There is at least 3 gallons of clear on the car so far!

What is old becomes new... kind of.

 

I bet it looks awsome in real life! I also have not seen a metal flake job since the 70's.
