Fantastic job on the clearcoat. I just bought and 85 VL485 and the clear could stand to be redone. What process did you use to put the clear back on?? I'm very curious!

i wet sanded the old oxidized clear cloat off by starting with 400 grit and working to 800 grit. the clear coat i used i bought in a spray can and it is holding up great. if you have any more questions, feel free to ask....
