I get alot of smudges and fingerprints on my dome....the aluminum part. I was curious if I should wax the whole dome including the panels. I like my finish on the dome as is. But will waxing the "entire" dome, including panels keep off those blemishes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18970141.post-83501065019238507322007-08-19T17:31:00.000-04:002007-08-19T17:31:00.000-04:00The shine is a lot better in person.I used 5 coats...The shine is a lot better in person.<BR/>I used 5 coats of clear on the parts and used Duplicolor auto paint for the blue and clear coat.<BR/>You can't wax for 30 days after you paint, But it will smooth and bring out a richer color.<BR/>The fingerprints usually happens if you handle the paint before it fully cures. I let my parts sit about 2/3 weeks before I touch them after painting. I have a set of front logic bevels, But I don't know if they'll fit your logics.<BR/>I'll see who I got them from and if they'll fit your logics, You can have them.

I ...That paint really does have a nice shine to it. I used 5 coats of clear on my panels, and still dosent look as shiny. I love the color, but wanted it a little shinier against my domes finish. Even though my dome isnt as shiny as yours, do you suggest I use polish on it anyway? It seems like every little fingerprint and whatever keeps getting on it. I also need to get those plastic bezels for my logics to poke thru.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
