Clear coat applied. Using some automotive 2k stuff. Its similar to the stuff one can buy from Zero paints etc. but its way cheaper. Bought this can two years ago for like 17€.

Thanks mates 👍

maybe tomorrow i will find some time get back to the Bench. Not a good idea having 4 projects running the same time...

Kyle DeHart

Gents, i have to call this wip off. Stupid me forgot to Put hardener into the clear coat. now it is kind of dryish but very soft. Makes it Impossible to polish etc. I am leaving fingerprints on it even when i look at it. Sucks big time.
Now it will rest in the pile of shame for a while...

Wait, wait, wait until it is dry. Polish and respray?

Nope wont Work. It was "drying" now since february and i dont think it will get any better.
I think i will Strip of the Paint and do some kind of "what if-ish" Car. I did Not find any replacement decals.
Is now stored away safely and i am preparing something different for our groupbuild 😁👍
