    If it is garaged it will be less of an issue as UV exposure will be lessened. Single stage clear is still not very durable and it isn't chemical resistant.

    I find spraying 2 part clears easy. They typically mix in a 4:1 ratio (clear:hardener) and you can get various hardenere, I usually get a slow one if I'm spraying in the summer.

    Yes, mixing is simple. But if you do t have a booth and can't spray an entire vehicle all at once, I like to drop the clear in the cup and spray whenever I have time instead of mixing, waiting... etc

    A good regular waxing should help protect against UV. I've always believed in waxing atleast monthly anyway.

    So far so good. Well see how holds up. I'll post pics as the clear ages.

    I'll have to redo, all this shit over again. Still can't believe I've dedicated the pay 4 months of my life strictly to a 1997 car

    I'll probably start wet sanding the body this evening. I should painted the car first instead of turbo because I really, really want to drive it
    Heh, that's actually what I did. I kept my hardtop black, a pillars. Rest I wrapped in a smurf blue color. Took me a month to wrap, but it was worth it. I love the two tone, go for it!

    Looks good. Hardtop verts seem to look a bit better than their slicktop counterparts in 2 tone.

    What fender flares do you have?

    Thank you! Totally agree, looks good. At first my main reason was I didn't have to wrap the a pillars/hardtop (save some money on material), but now I'm glad I didn't, haha. Also front flares are from http://jdmfenderflares.com/fender%20flares%20kit.htm, and rears are felony form.

    You should buy that tial mvs... I know for a fact you would find a good home for it


    I just wish I had like another 2000 to 3000k to spend and I would be done in like 2 weeks. Ill get there. Official drive will be so satisfying, maybe it'll be live! Ha

    No, I went with a different wg.

    When I bought the manifold it came with the tial but my SPA dump pipe is 2 bolt, tried adapting from vband to 2 bolt via a flange adapter, I didn't like it so I bought a 2 bolt wg
    Instead

    So I have an extra taking up space
