Thanks Terry, it's always nice to have a big dog pat you on the back. I checked out the thread with your rattle can paint job and that is great, it turned out very nice. Right now I've got a lot going on here but in a few weeks I'll be back at it and throw up some more pics when I get it all cleaned up.

I'll try and get some more pics up later today but the primer and color are all Duplicolor spray cans, I think it's marketed as touch up paint. I tried using their clear coat and it sucks, the slightest bump or rub and I had marks that were very hard to get out. I was so pissed I wound up sanding everything down and starting over. The K2 clear is so nice, I'll be using it from now on, it looks great and it's tough. I laid down two medium coats and sanded then came back with another heavier coat and now I'm happy. The weight difference is noticeable, the plastic pieces feel heavier and you can see the depth of the clear even though I only hit it with three coats. I'll try again today to get some better pics and if I get lucky I'll post some.
I'd say go ahead and order, you won't be disappointed, I did the front fender, tank, side covers and rear seat piece (the part behind the seat) and I used two cans. It only lasts 24 hours after it has been activated so make sure you are absolutely ready to go before you start painting.
