    I'll try to snap a pic when i wash the truck this weekend. My only camera is my phone, so i wont be able to get that good of a pic.

    The paint and clear are holding up perfectly, no issues, except a rock chip, but that has nothing to with the paint quality.....

    /\/\/\ Great write up!

    One thing I would recommend doing different is making your first layer of clear a heavy coat (or all layers for that matter. Just be careful not to let it run). Since the clear cost is what brings out the shine, and the first layer is directly on the paint, it will create a "deeper" shine, and look more factory.

    Thanks! :)

    Thats probably a good way to do it. I just followed the can's instructions, which is why I went that route. Not sure why they suggest 2 light coats, then a heavy coat, but whatever.
