I tried the rattle can approach on the truck lid. Three times. I kept seeing scratches, and I couldn't get the clear coat right. After the third try, I still had what appeared to be dry or dull spots. No shine. I couldn't tell if the problem was the paint or the clear coat, or too much, or not enough, sanding with 1500 and 2000. Anyway, the long and short--it goes to a pro next week. I'd rather not affix the jewelry (lettering and rack) to a poor home done job. Maybe next time, but next time I may buy a paint gun. Learning new skills is good for character-building, but it takes time, patience, and some lessons. I've learned a few--more to come.
