I really find what you did is both very interesting and very nice work.
I'm a kinda do-it-yourself guy and I'm testing this out, maybe I paint my car as well one day :P
I was wondering if you could give me a few pointers, things to watch out for? and I wanted to ask about the clear coat element, i heard you need at least 3 layers of clear, is that true? is there a "rule" for this ?
thanks for ur time
Marc
