Haha yup it's out. Check the racer lounge.

I used Duplicolor.. "Bright Red?" and I used a 500 degree clear over everything.

Honestly all I did was lightly sand over everything, clean off any dust, spray the color and then cleared over it. I could've removed a BUNCH of stuff to paint EVERYTHING but I felt like I didn't need to. I just covered what I could.
