Well, the weather turned too cold to spray lacquer since my last post. Tonight I'm going to paint the edges of the grill cutouts per the recommendations from Bob Anderson in Post #45. It's supposed to warm up over the weekend so I'll be applying the decal and spraying the clear coats. My plan is to spray 3 coats of gloss, level with 500 or 800 grit paper, apply the decal, spray with three more coats, level, and then see how it looks. If need be I'll spray three more clear coats and level again. Then I'll let it cure for a month before doing the rub out. Wish me luck. I'll be posting updates as I progress.
