Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
The plan is to use single stage as a base then a few coats of clear to make the paint look a foot deep.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Progress! Three steps forward and 4 steps back, lol. Seems like a waste to sand away all that I've done but oh well, it'll look sick when its complete.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Looks good J, would love to see it when finished. I've heard that single stage with several coats of clear looks pretty good.
