Alclad2 for a Natural Metal Finish - 4
9: I let the Alclad2 dry
overnight before I sprayed
on the Alclad2 clear.
10: It may not be necessary
but out of habit I strain my
paints and clear finishes. I
poured a small amount of
the Alclad2 Aqua 600 Aqua
Gloss into a cup through a
strainer. For the Aqua Gloss
I set the pressure at 25
psi. One coat was applied
spraying long even passes.

11: The Aqua
600 Aqua Gloss
leveled itself
evenly over
the metalized
shell's surface.
The shell was
now sealed and
the sheen toned
down very
slightly to resemble a #7 reflective stainless steel
finish. Just the look that I want.
12: The SCL name board is painted gray between
the top of the windows and the roof line. I masked
off for the gray with masking tap. To prevent paint
from seeping under the paint, I burnished the tape
with my index finger wrapped in a cotton cloth. I
use the cloth to prevent any oils on my hands from
being applied to the model surface and possibly
causing blemishes in the finish.
