make sure to seal them and wax them...a lot.

Look pretty good though, especially since you said you had no idea what you were doing lol

looks really good the only thing I would try to do to finish them off would maybe be some kind of small simple decal, maybe just the pony symbol or the word "MUSTANG" written across them. I bet anchor room could hook you up.

Wish I had my vinyl cutter workin or I would cut it out for you. There are a number of places on ebay if anchor room can't help you but I think it would really put the cherry on the top of all that rubbin you did.

with the polished surface unfortunatly I am afraid the clear will always be a problem. I would have just left them alone and planned on cleaning them up from time to time.

well plus the clear only sat over night i dont have any place to bake them so there for the clear is still very soft and will take about three week to sully harden so you have to realy careful with them for about a week
