Go for it!!! I finished the "Nereida" Njord for my Spanish customer this spring with 4 coats of DuPont 72200S ChromaPremier automotive clear urethane. I also had him add some flex agent. The gloss was simply mind numbing...

The prep has to be perfect because it shows everything. Working at a body shop you know that already...

I had a test panel of the ChromaPremier shot for the abrasion test I ran last spring and it faired very well.
