Sanded and resprayed a pair of 73’ metal bumpers with SEM trim black and I’m wondering if I should also add a Satin Clearcoat. Thoughts on whether or not to add a clearcoat at all?

The bumpers originally have a bit of texture, same as the roof and rockers. Many guys spray a very light coat of paintable gravel guard to get this texture, then topcoat.

IMHO, the texture was orange peel...I know there has been a lot of discussion on this...a few years ago. Best is to go back to the "originality forum" and look at some pics...I think SMG posts.."the Sahara Beige car?"....or look at some panels that have never been repainted... and make your own decision (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
