I went with Krylon Fusion Gloss. I lost count, I think I did a total of 6 coats, 2 light and 4 heavy, basicly the whole rattle can. I got the Krylon Clear to go on top of it but I dont know wtf happened but it looked terrible. It was cloudy and anything but shiny. The bottle didnt mention plastic, that may have been the issue, idk. So I just wetsanded it with 1000 and did one more coat of Gloss and called it quits until I can find a good clear. Suggestions?
The Krylon Fusion was real easy to work with. It says no sanding/priming, but I scuffed up the clear with 400 before the first coat anyway. Then I wiped it down with mineral spirits and started painting, waiting 15-30 min between coats, depending on how heavy they were.
My elaborate tape-up, with centerfold:

After second light coat:

Finished product. Note - Car is red, the light was so bright it turned it orange. I dont have a better lit 'outside' pic because its 2 am and I literally just finished:

Well I did have a storm roll through a bit beforehand but it still wasnt that humid, and I was painting in my garage with the door open a bit for ventilation. I shouldve taken a pic of the clear, it looked like absolute ***. I waited a bit for it to dry hoping it would get better, but no, it didnt. Im just thankful I was able to cover it up with another heavy coat of Gloss, because thats honestly all I had left, was one more coat! haha. Stores are closed at 2 am!
