looks sick bro...don't keep us in the dark as to how about you did it

Light sand with 600grit, nice thick layers with recoats within a half hour or you cant lay more down for a week or you'll get fisheyes and bubbling.
Appliance epoxy in rattlecans, its durable as hell, theres quite a few people who have done it on this forum, ive been using it for a long time on my stuntbikes.
Comes out like you layed clear down and theres no need for clear unless you want super gloss, in which case get an epoxy clear, its the only ones that will work well. Wet sand after 24 hours (after it cures) and reapply as needed.

If done right you can hit it with a hammer and it wont chip or crack.

I'll be doing the rest of the boat this week and finish up the design for the vinyl machine. After vinyl is applied ill be laying epoxy clear over it and it should last me longer than I'll have the hull.

where do you get epoxy clear?

ive painted a couple of boats this way, but never found a compatible clear coat.

I havent found a place in town who sells it, but you can order PJ1 epoxy clear online for cheap

"O this what you do" so you will not get cat eyes/ chemical reaction i wait to long between coats. my rattle can jobes come out great too but i am always fighting that. cat eye or chemical reaction thing when multi-coating..
I'll try to post some pictures of my satin black blaster with the shine!!:bigok:
