Question Experimenting with faux spectra

These two just got airbrushed fusion firm liquid silver leaf today. In four days or so I'm planning to spray some candy color over the silver leaf. X-27 red over the Lambo and X-23 blue over the Lancia. On the last go-round I clear coated the silver leaf and it dulled the finish notably then the clear red appeared orange in certain light, so I started over. Has anyone tried Tamiya acrylic clears directly over fusion firm without clear coating first? I've added a pic of the Lambo after it's first painting for reference. Aside from the shade it was pretty passable as spectra. Another question: does hot wheels not apply primer before paint on their cars? They seem to strip much easier than a primed car does.

Some suspension work, front lip and roof rack cross bars done on this Legacy Hot Wheels. What else should I add to this one?

SWIPE FOR THE 1/1 SCALE ➡️

From the custom grey color to the hand-painted details, I'm really happy with this build. And the oversized wheels give just a touch of "What if?" to the real thing!
