I like 'em "BIG"!
Hmmm... did you special order your wife like that? Or just something that happens over time? Either way, where can I get one like her?

Well, uh, hmm, there is not another one like her. We have been together for 45 years, since I was 11, so we are well tailored to each other.
We don't buy Christmas for each other, we both get or buy what we want when we want it so to ask the other to find something is, well, let's just say it is not emotionally realistic.

Nice! Who is your preferred supplier for Stits materials?
The yellow and clear for the Challenger recover showed up this morning.

Have a question I have never used clear I was under the impression that the clear and and colour one are the same except for pigment added for colour. So that is why I have never cleared my my planes . Does he clear add anything to the finish product.

It adds a high gloss coat, smooths the lines between different colors, and protects or seals logo's/vinyl from lifting. Note: when spraying over vinyl it absolutely has to be done in fine mist coats or it will melt the vinyl.
What I do is mist the vinyl a couple times before starting the full on clear coat.
You have not seen shine until a couple coats of clear. But for extreme luster such as the Eagle and Bulldog II, automotive high gloss clear gives that hot rod show room finish shine.

Thanks for that so it makes it really shiny but like the idea of blending everything in and when you do the clear you don’t have to mask, with that info i am going get my self a quart of clear the next time I paint. Thanks on the warning about the vinyl.
