I should have learned my lesson trying to send long URL's through the list

Group,

Here's a fantastic opportunity for one of our very sophisticated club
members. Looks like one of those jobs where you might look back and say, "I
can't believe they PAID me to do this!!" It would also give you the
opportunity to share your 300 restoration experience with those less
fortunate.

All - My take on clear coat paint is it is still crap - May be OK for 
the Concours circuit or the quick auction sale. But for the average 
collector who does his own car or drives his car frequently to car 
events/tours - the old single stage enamels are the easiest to touch up 
or do spot repairs. Clear coat may be easy for a pro paint shop to 
repair (usually they have to do the whole panel/side to repair a small 
spot) but they charge an arm and a leg. I, a do-it -myself restorer, 
have had terrible results with touch repair on my late model-every day 
car drivers. I have yet had any newer, clear coat cars, last more 
then 5-7 years before the clear coat goes to hell -doesn't happen to 
cars, I have had, with 50 year old paint.
