OK so any good recommendations for clear coat? I’m assuming matte clear?

I ended up buying some Vallejo metal color acrylic formulated for airbrushing that got good reviews for spraying and brushing. So we’ll see I guess.

I heard they were working on their own line of metallics/shiny’s soon, but who knows the development of paints

That’s great news!!! I haven’t been on in a while (life and family stuff) but I’m painting a Fett themed guitar so I figured I’d drop in and review some colors and stuff. Glad you’re doing better! I’m thinking I need a new bucket to paint and maybe a vest and neck seal to go with!!
