[QUOTE="rivercity, post: 276961, member: 8983"] Having said all that, if you really want to do it, just sand to 1000 grit dry then wet. Blow it off and tape carfully w/ a decent masking tape and shoot a few light coats of clear on it, about 10 minutes between coats. My recommendation is Acme clear coat w/ slow dry hardener for summer. Heard you can still get it at Sherwin-Williams automotive rdealers now at $70 for a gallon cc plus quart hardener = 5 quarts. Maybe available in smaller sizes. VERY good clearcoat that was sold under Western name for years. Some NAPAs have it as well (Napa's Martin Seymore paint is private labeled sherwin). Any real 2 part poly clear coat sprayed on will last longer than any kit, IMHO. If you have access to a spray gun and a clean place to spray and you find smaller quantities, it will probably be cheaper too. BTW bartered clearcoating a faded, peeling, sparkly bass boat years ago for some nice cabinet work. Used Acme mentioned above. Just scotchbrited boat first. Told him no guarantee over peeling sparkly stuff, but three years later he says it is still looking good. [/QUOTE]
