Got the wrap on the fins, turned the rest of the job over to the wrap maker. Don't want to ruin such a cool wrap. Darren at Performance Decals has been great through this entire project. Get lots of decals and wrap material from him and love his work. My Little Grunts are also his decal and wrap work. He is usually at our larger Kloudbuster events. Always has a large assortment of wraps and decals to pick from.
The nose cone will get a clear coat once I give it one more light buffing with a 4000 grit buffing pad. Found these little pads in the model section and they come in an assortment with grits from 1500 up to 4000. Take very little paint off and can be used wet. I buffed once with a 3200 pad to knock down the high spots, then a second buff with the 4000 pad. All under running water in the sink.
The pads did take off the gloss from the paint, but the clear coat will take care of that. And then the classic Red Max nose decal will get applied.
Pics to come once I get it back from Darren.
See ya,
Rod
