mike, sorry i meant to reference back to what you had said about just applying semi gloss clear over the current clear, however i have never done that and would not say what would happen, although it should work, the sure bet would be to apply a coat or 2 of base then semi gloss clear, then it can be buffed and the edge knocked down some.
goodluck.
more pics please jody!

Naturally I would definitely make a test panel before I messed with a perfect black finish. There is nothing more awesome than a laser straight black car to look at.

Jody.....speechless, I can't wait to see her finished.

Everytime I see a car on a rotisserie I get so jealous. I'd love to buy one of those things and put my car on it to do the undercarriage but I just don't think It would fit in the garage. I guess I'm just screwed. :(

Looks great Jody! I got bored with black as well and got alot of my front susp. powdercoated silver too. It's a nice contrast. :cool:

Thanks again guys. Can't wait to get it done!

Jody

We'll, I have been sleeping for awhile & misssed this thread..

Jody..Jody..Jody...Why am I not surprised?? Looks absolutely stunning! Wouldn't expect anyhing less though from what you have done in the past. I can't wait to see it in person. I think I feel a drive coming on in your direction to see in person!!

Thanks Brent. This is no Ricochet or DoubleNickel though! I'm resisting going super fancy with the car, just want neat and clean so I can drive the wheels off of it.

I will agree that Ricochet was a little to much. That is one of the reasons I sold it. I couldn't beat the snot out of it like I wanted. Well I could but I didn't want to hurt it. As far as building another "Show car", been there - done that - won't do it again. I think alot of people will be surprised with Nickelback. It will be a completely different bird compared to Ricochet. The car will be exceptionally clean & detailed, but this car is going to 100% pure function & will get beat on a regular basis!! :yes:

Very cool Brent, I like that! Then again Ricochet was breathtaking, and I liked that too!
