Sure is. Wayne, I gotta ask, how do you get your gloss coat to come out so....well....glossy? Mine, although somewhat glossy, never get that completely smooth finish.

Well.....I just spray it on in a couple of coats, with a bit extra where the decals are to be laid.....seems to get the job done!:)

...and thanks again for your continued interest and comments guys!
 
Low pressure? Thinner than normal?

Standard pressures...25 through 40 psi depending on my settings and type of day hot/cold....no thinner straight outa the bottle!

Working on preparing the undercarriage...
