After spraying the gloss colour coat, do I need to spray a clear coat, please?
Yes.

Practicing my nitro spraying by making the girls some signs for their bedrooms. My attempt at a sparkle finish for Imogen went straight to the bin. Isobel's metallic purple sign suffered with a few stray sparkles making their way into the clear coat. Also sanded through on one edge. Other than that, it's a perfect mirror finish. I left this one without grain filler so it has a little texture already, and I suspect it'll shrink into the grain with time.

In progress is Imogen's second attempt in what was meant to be Ocean Turquoise Metallic, but is likely a fraction more green than intended.
