• Managed to get the clear coat shot. Sadly, I only bought one quart of hardener, which limited me to two coats. But, two coats are enough to make it work. Just wish I'd have had the other quart, then I could have shot the whole gallon on there. Oh well. Turned out  pretty nice, except the occasional hair and dust speck. But to be expected given the situation. I probably should have moved it down and used the paint booth, but I just didn't have enough time. Still looks really good, especially from a couple feet away. Pulled the masking paper and tape, and all of the tape gum stayed on the trim, so I have at least three hours of cleaning to do. Then to try to get the scoop on, and start in on speakers, console and so on. At least it will be driveable for the show, so even if the stereo isn't done, no matter. Looks really nice, and will look better with the tires shined up and windows cleaned. Paint will harden by morning. That was the other mistake, I bought slow hardener, instead of medium or fast. I was thinking reducer...oh well....
