Oh well, the clear enamel did affect the colour coats. It muted the hammertone effect, altered the chrome effect and caused both chrome and hammertone to run somewhat. Should be ok hopefully. Apart from that everything seems to have bonded well so far.

Main large bits total of 6 coats- 2 primer, 2 colour, 2 clear.

Bolts/screws/nuts 4 coats 2 primer, 2 colour for expediency and clearcoat comparative/benchmark purposes.

Did find one recidivist bolt+nut lurking that I missed- that got 1 primer and 1 colour topcoat only, for further comparison.

Should give me an idea of what I need to do in future, and how.

Will allow a couple of days to dry before assembly.

Live and learn!
