MashaAllah,
Looks just beautiful, successful experiment,
There's a lot of texture showing in the clear, please consider wet sanding with 200 grit and then running a rotating polisher to bring up the shine again with a smooth mirror like finish, I think that will give the flames even more depth and a "glowing" shine.
But whether you decide to do this or not, either way it looks awesome, hats off!

Thanks for the kind words, Faraz.

Before the clear-coat gets any further treatment, I'm giving it a couple of days to dry out completely, and be absorbed by the paintwork, thoroughly.

On Monday (Insha Allah) we're going to give it a wet rub with some 4000 grit sandpaper...something that is gentle enough to preserve the gloss of the paint, but also coarse enough to cut away all the imperfections. This is going to be followed by a rub with some rubbing/cutting compound. A rub with some cleaner wax will follow, after which we'll use a sealant over this, to provide protection. To top it off, a nice layer of carnauba is going to be added, to lend some depth to the colour.

Hopefully, the end product should be free from imperfections, as far as is possible.

Thank you for the kind words. And as for the "old school wheels needed" advice...I agree, completely. I'm just not going to buy them!

Alright guys...it was a blast sharing some bodywork/paint details with everyone. But now, this thread has served its purpose, and needs to grow old, and fade away gracefully.

Thanks to all the visitors, and the advice, appreciation, and support rendered by everyone.
