Vid,
If you don't mind, could you clarify one thing in regards to laying down a thin clear before doing touch ups... When you say to do that, are you referring to going through the whole process of prep to lay down a quick 2PAC, or is there some sort of simpler clear coat that you use at that stage?
The way I'm interpretting dealing with the art is the following:
1) Clean
2) "Thin" clear with ???
3) Airbrush/waterslide touchup
4) Final clear with 2PAC
Thanks for sharing all of your experience, it's truly a blessing to have these guides.
