The best stuff to use so far is the black rubber dip in a spray can wet sand then clear coat.

Funny how much you loved it then isn't it?

I was thinking, I have really been wanting to see some pictures of you truck, you know the way it used to be. You know First the stock grey with purple outline flames. Then the stopsign red with sparkle white and yellow flames. Maybe we could compare crappy jobs
