J.P. It all looks looks fantastic .. So you sprayed clear to bury the gold leaf on the transom ? It looks very clear like it didn't add any tint at all to the base color...Is that a non yellowing clear ?? And not one run!! You should be thrilled with the results for your first time with a gun in you...
