I used it on a yota cab and it work fine. I don't see why you can't clear it with some Tamiya clear.

i dont think the laquer will work regardless of the time. enamel over laquer is ok, but laquer doesnt stick to anything
i have some automotive clear here tho that may work

Yeah.

I shot the Testors stuff over Pactra years ago when I built static models so they didn't see abuse.

Let the Pactra cure for 2-3 weeks then shot the clear.

I'd guess that the automotive clear would work as long as the underlying coat is allowed to cure well.

Here's the Tamiya Copper...

Metallic blue to match the beadlocks if you keep them would look sweet. Blue candy flames over silver would look sweet too.

Oh yeah. That looks good. Nice choice. The rock rings and the shocks go really well with the body color.

How are you liking the Croppers? I have a set on my Jeep, but I haven't run them yet.
