Just finished this up tonight. Once the clear coat is completely dry, I'll polish it up and post some better pics. I actually removed the gate panel and the whole latch assembly and removed the Chevy emblem.

I had a question. Would finger nail clear coat work for sealing painted bowties? Or would I have to use something else?
