hard to make it look really good with paintbrush, better off just spraying them

why take the time to clear coat them. see that it doesnt make them look better, than sand all the clear off.

just sand em down now. paint em w a spray. and be good to go.
get inlays for the SS badges. i

yeah, just not feeling the brush strokes thing. i know it seems like everyone and their brother uses spray paint, but there is a reason for that. a nice even coat, not clumpy brush strokes.
