So freaking nice!! If you would of pin striped the signals it would have been even better. Still very nice though.

Thank you friend, the pinstrips aren't my thing. It would have only been a little longer to tape off to do it though.

Very nice, I think it looks better without the pinstripe.

Thank you! You could probably wet sand with 2k or 2500 grit and have them cleared, the clear not only offers a shine and deep color but ask protects the undercoat.

I finally gave in and did this. Here's how they turned out. I might wet sand and re-clear one more time.
