A couple of weeks ago, I thought I had pretty much destroyed the finish on my JK-1. It looked awful. Inspired by my success on the matching headstock, I went back to work on it with some sandpaper and made it look worse. Last night, I followed the advice of Sonic and Wokka and decided to try the clearcoat on a small, easily hidden spot. It looked so good there, I decided to extend it out a little as a test, and the result has me almost giddy about this project again. The clearcoat really made this thing shine and enhanced the color-change properties of the paint, which I thought I'd mostly lost through the sanding process.
Clearly, it still has a lot of flaws in the finish (most of my own making), but I finally feel back on track with this one. Thanks, guys.
