Other side.
It took about 3 hours. 

Applied the decal on it. 

All decal works done. (Very nice decal quality) 

I recorded what the decal's transparencies looked like.
Here is movie clip - Youtube Video 

Clear coated.
It seem no problem. But..... 

Blurry iridescent stain appeared under the transparent layer.

My guess is that I rubbed too hard with a cotton swab to remove the decal adhesive, and there must have been a chemical reaction between the scratch on that area and the lacquer clear.
And I applied the clear very soked, but it would have been better if I first coated it lightly and moistly in advance, dried it, and then drenched it and painted it. 

It was coated without any problem on the non-chrome reflective areas.

Fortunately, it is invisible from a normal point of view, and only appears when you hold it high with your hand and deliberately reflect it in the light. 

Of course, there is no problem in natural light for non-mirror surfaces too. 

Sanded. 

The marked place is the step difference caused by cutting and pasting the mirror sheet. 

The decal was shaved off by excessive sanding.

Greed brings misfortune. 

painted with brush paint. 

Compounded after Final clear coated. 

Brush painting again. 

In fact, the biggest difficulty of this livery is not the chrome expression on the side, but the star expression on the bonnet.
It should be a glossy black star over the matte bonnet. 

So I had to cut out every star one by one. 

It was not easy to match the lines, spacing, and angles, but the result is satisfactory. 

Ready to assemble. 

Finish.
The assembly process was omitted because it was no different from the previously made 'VOLT' vehicle.
