don, i am not stepping on your toe's i hope, but don't skimp on clear coat. i have seen some cars with cheap clear coat that over time have gone cloudy, or have sort of a whitish tint.

wait a minute, danny's truck is white!!!!

Well the Speed Clear is supposed to be very good. The problem is that local stores have a few choices, and they are all priced at high retail. They give great deals to friends and regular customers, but not to most of us. The high end clear from PPG here they want about $300 per gallon. I bought 2.5 gallons(total) of the Speed Clear for about $500.
