Hey Kasey, the hoe's looking good man. With the Niteshades, you said it comes out dull and shitty looking, but do you think it'd look better if you sprayed a coat or 2 of clear on top of it?

I never gave it any chance..

the Rustoleum stuff I used came out glossy from just paint, no clear coat

but technically speaking a clear coat should make it glossier

so you just shot a couple coats of the gloss black on the tails after some wet sanding?

just regular dry sanding with a disc sander and 220 grit until everything was smooth and I saw no more scratches

then cleaned with paint thinner, let it dry

then shot just enough paint to where I couldn't see the red underneath and no more than that!

cool. i dont have a disk sander..so ill probably just do some hand sanding with the 220 then shoot it with the rustoleum.

no clear coats? really? damn...

if you handsand it grab some 1000 grit and once you've knocked down all the major imperfections, clean it with the paint thinner then hit it with the 1000 grit to get it REALLY smooth

and nope no clear coats yet, I want to get one on just for durability purposes but if I don't I'm not worried it doesn't look like its going to "flake" like the NiteShade did

i was kinda skeptical about the niteshade stuff.

ill probably just do the same with the chrome-plastic trim pieces too
