- Sun Jun 09, 2013 8:09 pm #332675 ummm, i am no expert as you can see. It came out like shit. Only thing that ever came out good for me is like engine bays and small stuff with small surfaces. I can never lay the clear correctly. I always get dry spots or the clear ends up being rough. I also think the humidity was way too high yesterday to lay the clear. The paint is def. not dry yet. Feels soft.

Here is it cleared. My body work sucked, i thought I had it blocked good, guess not. Looks better than before tho and its a dd and will be a weekend track car and etc. It won't win any shows or be a "looker" at meets. I need to wetsand and buff the crap out of the hood when it dries up and hopefully it will bring out more shine.
