    Thinking about Opti Coat or another coating...help decide!

    I did my headlights but not my plastics since they were pretty faded, I didn't want to protect faded trim. I also did not tape off anything. If I got a little bit on the trim I just quickly wiped it away with a MF.

    Thinking about Opti Coat or another coating...help decide!

    About 2 days. Between the layering I drove it, so I did a waterless wash then an IPA wipe down. Some people don't recommend the IPA wipe down but my paint is extremely hard so it is a little more resistant to marring.

    Quick Opti-Coat Question

    Thank you for this response! I plan on tackling the hood again on Sunday as it will be 65 degrees. After the hood I believe I got the hang of it and got the rest of the panels well enough. This is my DD so I got the paint as good as it was going to get without hitting it with a rotary and...
