So far this car has been my favorite creation and biggest learning experience. This is the 7th incarnation of this car. It was a challenge trying to find a spray paint to match the blue of this car and after about 5 cans and 25 bucks, I finally settled on a can of Rustoleum that looked the closest. Once I found the paint and got the decals placed, I was thrilled with it, until I tried to clearcoat it and the paint and decals crinkled After a new set of decals from Patto's and a long bath in Super Clean, we were back to the clearcoat phase. Lesson Learned: Future Floorwax from here on out!

Attempt #1 (Pre-Clearcoat Disaster)

Final Product

Well worth the $25.00 investment. I hate clear coating. It is like everything is perfect and than dooms day.
