I did shoot the 43 in some ridiculos high heat conditions last year and the results of that have revealed themself. Pretty chalky appearance and I have buffed it out once with just Mcquires High Tech wax and it looks pretty good for a day or so. The chalky look comes from reducer once fully cured.

Almost all was shot in single stage Sherwin Williams Prolene which give an awesome textured appearance like leather - but the areas that get full sun are getting murdered.

Going to attempt to use 1500 & 2000 grit and color buff it using cutting compound and polish and see what happens - if not it gets shot again in urethance CrossFire 24052 single stage all over again with another good 360 topcoat sanding.

Will see what happens here in the next couple week - and if a full paint (with cross's taped off) and just re-letter again.

The running issues have all been taken care of and runs like a sweet babies dream.

I was kind of mentioning something worth while - that paint thing is just dinkin around to me - flash in the pants so to speak.

I just gotta have it looking superior at the 2012 Ga Rally with all the critics there peering at it.
