Looking good. Always a new surprise.

ThankZ man! Think I’m calling it done now after some more clear.

@@BrusHstroKeZ Nice i leave mine raw also. I think it looks better on some colors with no pinstripping.

[@BrusHstroKeZ]

ThankZ me too! Plus not sure I’m good enough at pinstriping to tackle this thing. Maybe one day.

Can you wipe that down with final wipe before clearing without damaging the leaf

[@BrusHstroKeZ]

@@davewoods3543 Yes u can and should wipe it all down before re-clearing.

[@davewoods3543]

Awesome thanks for the reply

[@BrusHstroKeZ]

@@davewoods3543 No problem man!

That’s looking real good. I never used gold leaf before. I can’t wait to see it clear coated. Is that gold leaf expensive?

[@BrusHstroKeZ]

ThankZ man! I bought imitation gold leaf, and it’s pretty cheap. I bought a book of 25 sheets, 5 1/2” squares, for about $15 on eBay. I used 3 or 4 sheets on the tank. Real gold is expensive, about $40-50 a book. The glue was $15. Then all u really need is a pinstripe brush and a makeup brush. So cheap to get into it. I can do a full vid on it next time I do some.
