Top Coat: Usually I use grip tape on my handles after the clear has been buffed out, but I didn't want to cover up the graphics this time. I needed a bullet proof Top coat that would stand up to oil and fuel soaked hands. Fortunately I am friends with the most talented, knowlegable painter and fellow CSF (Controline Stunt Freak) on the planet, Larry Maltman. I told him what I needed and he gifted me with a 2 part water based clear top coat. According to Larry, "It's PPG ECO, the equivalent of the old solvent based clear. Expensive but extremely good stuff." Straight from the horse's mouth. This is the same clear topcoat he uses on his airplanes. The video doesn't really do it justice.
