Default clear coat is on

well i hate to say it but the pictures i have do not do this job justice.Theres a big difference from my last posting.( maybe you can see it maybe not) after 12 coats of clear and now waiting for this job to cure out they will be blocking the car once again and applying 4 more coats of clear, then hitting it with 3000 grit pads and the the final buff out.. 1 more week to go to to see it with wheels on that will be 30 days from start to finish but well worth the wait
