Very nice Lou.

CW Tip.
A 356 CW guy gave me a tip to keep the underside looking good. He suggested a light coat of clear satin sprayed (one coat) after the Body Schutz. I did it on my car in a few places and it held up well over the years. Holds the body schutz color and real easy to clean off road dirt/dust. Try it in a small area before you decide.

It's funny, the comment about keeping it clean was somewhat in jest, but now you got me thinking, now would be the time to spray the clear...and it sure would look good...I think I may just do that, if I don't I'll probably regret it later.

Lou,

Be sure to use Clear Satin. You don't want it shiny. The clear fills in the porous Body Schutz surface. That's why the dirt & grime wash off easy. It also keeps the dark color fresh a long time.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Yah, it really does bug me too, I need to measure them up, and get them ordered, turn around time is only a week. I guess that should be my goal for January. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
