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?

no way, just semi gloss trim paint that has the flex agent in it

Pretty fantastic paint and your bumper looks great BTW (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) One other note, it seems a lot of people use satin and semi-gloss interchangeably but I don't think they are the same. Satin seems correct for bumpers and rocker covers to me. |

It's a pet peave of mine... especially when people call satin, "flat" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) , which seems to be the norm (from my research of satin finishes specifically). Stevie - the bumper looks great ! |
