yea true bear, i was fortunate second time round, i got all the paint on, clear coated with really fine long distance mist a few coats and then a closer few and finally a heavy coat over the black and greens... worked no drama. decals tonight... I somehow missized a couple so I have to redo them, couple more to go and will clear coat them on, then rebuild.
in progress
with a few more done, including the green on the caltex logos... printed them to match the bonnet colour... if it's not right, at least it's not obvious when looked at.
waiting for my fluoro orange to arrive so i can cut pieces to complete the look.
