i didnt spray the base and clear, but was in the booth during the process, its been 6yrs since ive painted and didnt wanna mess it up. I put probably 20-30hrs of body work and prep work into it and realy wanted it to turn out nice. WARRANTY...no, but it did cost a pretty penny. And the answer to the other question "is he gonna ride it" YES, i will be a little heart broken at the sight of the 1st scratch but its a toy that i gave to him so that he could enjoy a REAL toy from the day. I want nothing more than him to play and have fun and my wife and I be able to take pictures of him doing it. Thank you all for looking.
