Some additional work to the Buccaneer. I finished off some more clearcoating. Mainly the shooter lane, and this would be a good test to see if the clear I'm using is a good match to the original varnish (as Gavin suggested). Today, I found out it is a PERFECT match. The shooter lane is in great condition anyway, but I thought I'd give it a try.

First, I masked off the area that was not worn - so I was only painting the worn area (an "after" shot - not a "before" shot) ;





A quick spray od clearcoat through the airbrush ;





It blends in prefectly. I'll give it a second coat tomorrow.


I also finished off the pop bumper area with a quick clear - and it "darkened" the area to the point where it now matches the surrounding area. Pleased with the results.





The white area was also finished off. It is a little "too white", but I'm still very pleased with the outcome.
