    Finally finished mine (after wife ran over the first one ;) ) Thanks to the OP and Big Boy Hot Wheel for his information on this project. My clear coat turned out a little jacked but all-in-all it is fine for my needs.

    Did mine today after seeing this write up.

    Went White with the Red Accent Lettering and after seeing you guys add the other decals, it looks really sharp. I will be adding those soon.

    What's up guys. I also got inspired by this post. was originally going to do silver with red letters, but ended up doing with red & black. trying to figure out if i want to paint the letters silver or black.
