Thanks man!
I think i may do one more coat of tint then clear coat and so the wetsand and polish. I'm just not too sure of my wetsanding abilities, never been all that 'handy'

Looks pretty good. In my opinion it would look better with one more coat. From the picture I can see a little bit of red showing through. But clear coat may take care of that too.

I prefer Krylon Fusion for plastic since it bonds well to it without sanding/priming.
