    I'd still use 2k, you can still get direct gloss in 2pack, that doesn't need lacquering. But base and clear (says it in the name) does.

    that black one looks leet, you must of been a mega pro, the main problem i had was with particles in the air! they landed everywhere, we dampened down aswell, only had about 3 drips that can be sanded off at a later date. and some imperfection orange peel ect, overall i am hugely happy with the resuly and how it went for my first try. uploading pics

    heres mine painted in a booth :P

    Suckers!



    good luck with it matey, i hope it turns out ok. Take your time with the coats, a dry finish will be easier than going for glory and trying to flat a run.
