Hi Jerry,Just ordered a set from your ebay store. John McVicker turned me on to them. What about a topcoat of clear fingernail polish?
Hi Spike,Link to Fleabay ?
This is from another car -- I have to post pictures from other cars sometimes to show a coating or installation method.Cruise control??? What is that?![]()
@ThorH I’ve not top coated it yet. I bought some Testors Spray Lacquer but am still trying to decide what exactly to use. Finger nail polish will do the job but I think it might look too thick?Hey John- looks great! Which top coat did you end up using?

This is the stuff I bought...not recommending this however as I haven’t even used it yet. I live in a small town and it’s all I could find.

I’ve used ISM coat for coating a few cars, it’s great and very easy to work with compared to other ceramic coatings. One warning though, once you open the bottle you have about a month to use it before it is unusable (turns into a bottle glass). Kamikaze makes ISM and they also make a slightly cheaper option, Miyabi. I’d guess both would work great for this application but given the price, usable time after opening it & size of the smallest bottle, I’d use the rest to coat a car/truck in need of a ceramic coat at the same time. Esoteric car care is the US importer for the Kamikaze line and they will run sales on occasion. Hope that helps if you go this route.The ISM looks like the best way to go as far as quality alone. You're right though, it is damn expensive. $150 for a 30ml bottle. Honestly though considering I have a couple small exterior parts I want to do as well, this may be a good option for me once I get those parts done.

When I was in school for woodworking the best lesson I learned was that people only see the last 5% of the work you put in on the finishing of the finish. So don’t skimp on the last steps. And paint strippers are like all strippers... you get what you pay for.The ISM looks like the best way to go as far as quality alone.
