Bloody hot alright, no air con in my house! I have some clear coat peeling and I was suprised how different the clour is without the clear coat, makes a huge difference. Good luck. Just hit 42 so should dry real quick!!

DAMMIT! i just went to put on another clear coat, and i went to touch it to see if it was dry, and the whole top bit stuck to my finger and it stuck there, now one of them is stufffed. why did that happen? do i need to wait longer?

Patience Cold Fusion, even in this heat wait at least 20 mins and if you put in on really thick wait longer!

Did mine 2-3 weeks ago and they havnt chipped at all yet, ill get some pics when i get my hands on a camera.

I just sanded the surface to make it rough, cleaned them with degreaser, and painted 4-5 thin coats of paint and 2 coats of gloss.
