"Goosebumps" in spray paint

DentalDart said

The silver looks better, the black is called "hammered" to give it a little more of the texture look. I didnt put primer down on the console, but it looks good still.

Question- I havent done clear on them yet, will a clear coat help them be less "sticky" or likely to come off on clothing that scrapes along them?

Clear will definitely help, but you'll need to let the silver cure for a couple weeks first. The solvents keep coming out for a while. You can 'bake' the parts to help speed the curing. In your neck of the woods, just put them in the car with the windows up and park outside for 2-3 days.

As far as clear - DONT use the typical rattle can clear. It will turn yellow, especially in the heat. It may take a year, but it will turn piss yellow eventually. Buy yourself a few cans of '2k' clear by spraymax. I used the stuff to redo the bumper of my daily driver and it's held up for the past 7 years. I've also used it to clear the saddlebags on my motorcycle and the gas tank too. The nice thing about the 2k is that it's a hardened paint. It won't dissolve easily and it's slightly flexible without being tacky, but is hard wearing. Read the directions THOROUGHLY beforehand and USE A RESPIRATOR. A bandanna isn't going to save your lungs from this stuff.
