If this came in gloss I'd be all over this stuff for my 10 spokes. Seems like a great idea for those who are unsure about a berger panel or CETA mod though.

"under my t-tops"dum

I have a silver car and when I pull the t-tops off the body color shows on the roof. I used the black to cover that, now it's all black.

Pics always help explain

I'd care more about the protection than the look. I was considering using the clear to make panels look matte, or to make temporary ghost stripes.
