Westend, as far as the exterior finish goes I'm still leaning toward the garage floor epoxy in gray for the body and white for the roof. I'll probably get a sign maker buddy to do a vinyl decal package but I haven't thought much beyond that.
I'm curious about the stain on the aluminum: obviously it wouldn't penetrate, but it seems to me it would just rub off. Did you have any problems getting the base coat to stay put ?
Epoxy is always a good choice, IMO, excellent bond strength.
For the faux finish, the primer and base coat is applied and allowed to dry. The oil based gel stain is applied and raked and/or brushed and allowed to dry. Usually, a protective clearcoat is applied as a final finish. I have done doors and walls without a final clearcoat and haven't seen problems with adhesion or deterioration of the finish. On a vehicle, it is a usual final process to apply a clear coat.
