since that episode ive decided to use Vallejo flat clear as a barrier for ALL my paintjobs, it worked great as a barrier primer for red bodies and it did great on another build before this.

It sucks to see that happen!
Keep it up.
Such a fun looking build!

Which brand of Urethane are you using? It looks great.
