One thing to improve the looks: thin line between colors will help a lot. Next time do not use standard masking tape, get some Tamiya tape, it will give you crisp lines.
A few ways to do the stripes: hand/brush (if you have steady hands), PAINT MARKER (if you do not have steady hands, just like me), two parallel lines with masking tape and paint marker in between (if your hands are all over the place...)
BUT the clear sure helps...

Came out pretty good. That blue and yellow looks really good on that rigger. Can't wait to see some vids.

Man I'm with ya on that. I recently painted a hull with Krylon. Let it cure for 48 hours, and then cleared it with the SAME series of Krylon and it ate the crap out of the paint! I've about given up on rattle cans! The only clear I have found that seems to work is the tiny overpriced Testors Model Masters clear. It takes at least two of the $7 cans to clear a boat and then then it yellows really bad.

The next time I'm gonna try the $1 cans from the dollar store if they have a clear! Haha.

Come on guys, try the professional automotive two component! No worries with that. And it will NOT turn yellow...

I have said it many times before I use expensive Tamiya TS paint and primers and no clear. No problems with 8 boats and easy to fix scratches etc. That paint is a synthetic lacquer. For rattle cans it is pretty darn good.
Danny, I feel for you as I had a similar experience with Krylon.

You gotta try the krylon triple thick glaze/ clear. Its the best. Look for it in the craft section, goes on 3 times as thick with no ill effects to krylon reg. Paint and wet sands and buffs out perfect. Also it comes in the big can so you only need 1

I also use tamiya paints as base- but i use the regular ps stuff for lexan than clear it with the triple thick clear. The tips on the tamiya paints are the best. Awsome spray

Thanks! I'll look for it. Good tip!

I think the issue with the two part automotive paints for most of us is number one, the cost. Number two, the right equipment. Number three the safety precautions needed. Number four the environment to spray them in.

Other than that they're great!

My issue was it made it duller than with no clear because the clear clouded up.

I would have used that, but I had to use what I ahd laying around the house.
