Do light coats let dry,then repeat(light coats)Clear coat is very thin,so go easy!To much and it,ll run easily!

Nice, nice job on your tailgate. Everything else too. You're lucky to have a Valiant wagon...it has great practicality. My Dad had one in the 60's. Still have a scar from where my face hit the metal edge of the back seat when he swerved to miss a dog. Be careful if you put a kid in the 'way back.' Dad went a little pale seeing all the blood. I like having a Mopar scar tho. Seriously, great work!
 
lol yea that looks dangerous i alredy thought about carpeting that but i figure it wont look good great car tho . i wish my dad had a wagon.
