Paint opinion question
I just got done (i think) painting my 87 2 door. It was originally dark maroon metallic, but most of the paint was really faded, cracked, or rusted away.
I'm wondering, should I do a few layers of clear coat over the gloss black I've got on? My thought is that if I leave the clear off, it will be easier to cover scrapes and scratches I manage to put into the paint. I can just grab the spare rattle can I've got, and *BAM* its back to lookin great. Anyone know if this is a bad decision? Will the black be more prone to flaking and peeling if I don't clear it? I don't mind the semi gloss, either. I'll have to get my fiance to log on for me and post a pic or two for examples... |

I posted links in my build thread to 4 pics of the "finished" product. |
I like the idea of being able to whip out the rattle can and do a spot repair. If you plan on trailing this rig a lot, leave the clear off. Mostly street duty, clear it if you want. I would like to see an XJ ot ZJ with the flat black all of rat rodders use.

After seeing the paint when it was dry, I actually thought to myself, "This is krylon's GLOSS black?!?" |
Can't see the pics at work, I'll have to take your word for it until i get home.

Me either. I hate work computers. I'm not even sure what pics were posted because I had my fiance do the work from home! :001_tongue: |
