No do not rub it back before the clear as the paint is a metallic.
Clear cloat and colour sand the clear once done.
Myself I would of left the primer a few days to set properly before painting colour.

Cool, thanks. Looked up Benj's thread since posting that with that exact advice.

No lessons for me. Just painted many many pumps and fuel tanks.

Nothing like some trial and error.

Even when I read the instructions, a lot of stuff I do ends up like that.

So, after applying the clear last night and drying overnight, it's looking pretty good. I can't wait to see what it will look like in a couple of weeks when I colour sand it.

Double check all the hose connections etc

Cheers

Cool, I'll check it out after the temperature falls below the melting point of lead.

Problem solved?

http://www.fordmods.com/post1373664.html#p1373664

This afternoon while waiting in line at the servo with the air con on for about 5 minutes, I watched the temp gauge climb up to mid scale. Normally it runs around the N of NORMAL. Anyways, I'm thinking that my clutch fan might be getting tired. Since a new one costs $80 I was thinking of upgrading to thermo fans.

Now, my mate is wrecking his 25 anniversary XF and I am getting the wheels off it for a carton (same as NAII Fairlane) because mine are getting a bit low on tread and rego is coming up in a couple of months. AAAnd he had AU thermos on it. So would these fit on my car without too much trouble?

Cheers,

Evan.

Thermos will be a good upgrade Ev, unfortunately I have no idea whether AU thermos will fit :P
As always, I'm willing to lend a hand if you need someone to pass tools around!
