I think mine hangs down a bit, too.
And I like the look.

I had just read your buildup thread and saw where those pictures were taken as you said "goodbye" to your hard work.

I used the ACE primer. I used Mineral Spirits to dilute.

I painted 3 coats of primer, 4 coats of ACE, and 3 coats of clear. Mixed the clear with enamel thinner and hardner.

Sanded the primer with 220 - 400
Sanded the paint with 400 - 600
Sanded the clear with 600 - 1500
