Default Clearcoat and stripes

What I did was I had a local painter scuff up the finish on the gelcoat. Then he taped and shot the stripes and then clearcoated the entire body (doors and all for a consistent finish).

The gelcoat finish was really nice by itself, however, by clearcoating the body, it added more depth and luster to the overall finish. Also, the stripes are now buried under the clearcoat with no ridge at the edges of the stripes.
