    Testors paint + clear close ups?

    I was wondering if anyone has close up images of Testors "transparent black" paint covered with clear coat (tailights?). Trying to see whether it looks real or PepBoyz special.

    Thanks!

          mine came out pretty good, slight orange peel on the clearcoat. The color looks great though.

            Do you think if you sanded clear and re-applied another layer there would be no orange peal?

              I used testor's candy apple red for my tails, wet sanded them down and had the body shop spray the entire tail light with clearcoat, came out beautiful. It's all about the clearcoat...

                What did it cost you mind if I ask? Im not into sanding, how much will that cost do you think?

                Thanks!

                  Cost me an everything bagel and a medium coffee, I used to work for a bmw dealer with a bodyshop. It shouldn't cost much at all at a semi honest shop, they just have to shoot them real quick, no taping off, no sanding.
