I like the satin look way better than the flat. I'd like to see some better pictures of it to make a final judgement. It obviously looks better than what you started with.

I have not heard of this, but I guess only time will tell. And if it does start to chalk up, then it will just be all the more reason to sand it down again, and make it look even better.

Here's some pics after I cleaned her up last night. The front wheels still need to be polished, I polished all of the lights on the car too. I will try to get my hands on a better camera in the next week or so. I'm trying to decide if I should smoke my tail lights, 3rd brake light, side markers, and front turn signals also. I know I want to when the car is white again, but not sure on the black.

That looks good!!

From those pics I would have never guessed you did it in your back yard. I'm sure you could tell if you were close up and looking for flaws, but if anybody does that,

Thanks for the pics. Good job!!!

Thanks dubga! There are definitely some flaws, but overall I'm happy with the end result.

Very nice looking. I have been thinking about doing this for a while. Was it rattle can or did you use a gun?

That definetly looks good. I think that looks so, so, so much better than flat. You just need to darken your tint now and you'll be set.

I like it a lot, but white is my favorite color on these cars, so it will be white again one day.

I have been considering doing that and my 3rd brake light, and leaving the tail lights how they are
