Hi Brian, you mentioned... <<If you want to "freeze" the frame in

I am not sure that Imron is the best choice for a top clear coat.... the problem seems to be that the Imron clear coat may chemically react with the base enamel/lacquer paint. I wonder if auto acrylic enamel clear coat from Dupont, PPG, or House of Kolor may be a better choice...

Any suggestions/comments?
