Ha! Sorry Alan, I completely misread your post. I got it in my head you were saying clear coat didn't have UV resistance. My apologies :blush: I'm not sure what I need out of clear other than the UV protection. Maybe you could elaborate so I understand better? Thanks for the kind comments!!

I'll get it out into the sun after work and snap some pics. I'm not sure how well the candy will show up in a single stage paint. I might have to do it right and add the candy to a couple coats of clear.

On the paint- it'll work, but I'm not overly pleased with it. I think the color will work out fine. I thought I had bought single stage urethane, but it was acrylic enamel. I have never shot acrylic enamel, and the metalics didn't lay right for me. Either I shot it wet and smooth and the metallic mottled, or I shot it dry and the metalics laid down right but the finish was rough as sand paper. I'll wait to see it in the sun to pass judgement.

That makes sense about the UV protection being in the clear and not in the resin. I can't wait to see this project fire up... :woohoo: a lot of fantastic work and ideas in all areas. Thanks for the great thread!

Thanks for the offer Josh! That day may be soon approaching. Once I get the bottom end assembled, it would be nice to have another set of hands and eyes to drop it into the frame and assemble the suspension. Hopefully in the next few weeks :woohoo:

Whoa whoa whoa! Hold it right there partner. The little missus can't start believing I can finish projects, cause then my hunny-do list will grow exponentially! As for the Porsche moving under its own power, it is the honest truth. See the video above :evil:
