Well I managed to find the last can of the oil-resistant clearcoat today. Tested it on a small piece after wet-sanding, and it was looking good an hour later. So in between final coats of paint on the frame, I wet-sanded and did another light coat of paint on the swingarm, let it dry for about 15 minutes, then hit it with the clearcoat. I let that dry for about half an hour, with no bad results from doing the clear so soon after the paint. By this point the frame had been drying for almost an hour, so I finished off the can of clearcoat to cover the frame.

That was about 45 minutes ago, and it's looking really good. And *really* shiny! Just have to let everything dry for a few hours before I move them back into the garage for the night.

She's a beautiful mess, and I've made her all mine
