Wow, that paint looks awesome. Metal flake and a 70's bike just work, every time. How many coats of clear to get that all flat along the stripes?

Thanks.  Not sure on the final clear, I painted the metalflake and black stripe and my friend Cliff Anderson did the striping, gold leaf and final clear and I don't know how many coats, sorry.
