I am finishing up a Harlem with Classic Arcades overlay. Pf was junk, so I filled cupped inserts with 2PAC and sanded and cleared the entire thing. Let it cure for a week. Applied overlay, and let it set for 1 week. Applied light coat of auto clear, and let cure for 4 days, repeated that 3 more times. I have a couple spots at inserts I am not thrilled with, but overall, looks pretty damn good. I can get pics tomorrow.

Yeah, I think u rushed it.
I also put mine down wet, you almost have to, cause the registration isn't perfect. You kinda have to be able to move it to find a happy medium.
I used shop grade automotive clear. Definitely light first coat on top of overlay, or u will melt it.

You can see where registration is off here.

I removed all the cheesy faux wood grain, and let the wood show. My goal was to make it very difficult to see this is an overlay, and I did ok.
Not perfect, but ok.
