Are you planning on doing this all yourself or doing all you can before bringing to someone?

I'm gonna take the plunge and hit it with monstaliner. A few of the posts I've seen here have convinced me that it's not a terrible solution and I was so sick of looking at the faded clear coat across the hood and roof. What has surprised me while sanding is to see how much rust was hiding under the faded clear coat in places. Glad I'm doing it now.

I'll report back with the finished product.

Yeah it's honestly a dream for this job. Cordless tools ftw. Been using between 120-220 grit pads and hitting the hard to reach stuff by hand. I've found that the paint and clear coat dust can stick pretty hard to the body, so it's worth taking it to a DIY car wash and spraying it down with a high pressure hose so that you can see areas you've missed.

What color did you use? I have pyroclastic on mine, but wanted a closer match to the cement color on my '18.

I used moderate quartz, which is surprisingly lighter than pyroclastic in person. Overall very happy with the color though and it went on easy enough. The door jambs were a pain in the ass, but I'm glad I did them in retrospect.

This is dope, my 96 has a ton of oxidation and peeling on it too. Didn’t know something like this was an option!

I wound up doing the door jambs, outer body, and canopy comfortably with 1 gallon. Since I'm doing a second layer, I bought two and I'm happy I did since the catalyst hardens the paint in 6-10 hrs and I wanted to break up the layers into two days.
