i will, when i get another shell to work on. i didn't read through the whole foum, but did they use any clear coat? and did anyone find out if rustoleum is the same, just needs to be thin and completely dry so it will be hard and not chip off

Prep Prep Prep..then re-read the thread..all 23 pages [:'(] Then have fun. Sounds like the $50.00 is doable, but the labor and time involved, 1 week easy, is the breaker.

No clear coat...they just smooth and polish the bejezez out of the paint. It is Rustoleum PRO. You must use 100% mineral spirits..not the low odor stuff. White foam roller....
