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.

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!!
