Believe me...it's no where near as dark in drect sunlight...but then agian it's just temp.

The paint will not last nearly as long as something like acrylic urethane paint would but, from a distance, it looks good. 8)

Here's mine: (it's a temp job)

In the spring I'm going to strip it back down to the original paint. Hopefully If it's not bad that is. [-o<

I wet sanded it, but wasn't happy with how thin it was, so I never got around to trying to buff it. I clear coated the hood though and went down to 2,000 grit, and it was pretty nice looking.

here's the hood after some pollen had fallen on it.

I don't think I can match that dune buggy.
