    I used Duplicolor clear, same brand as the gold. Got them both from Supercheap auto.

    nice one. So I found the clear coat dulled the gold sparkle a bit. How is yours after the clear ? Being automotive paint maybe it didn't dull much

    I did some work on the finish yesterday . Started with 1200 then 1500 and finished off with 2000. A quick polish by hand with T cut then finished it off with some title wax. It came out much better than I could have hoped, the finish looks like glass .
    Started assembling this morning, I will try and get the remainder of the wiring done this arvo.

    Here is a couple of teaser pics.
