Gotta love the clear coat.

I painted a car 25 years ago in base with clear coat and it still looks great. I'm not sure why everyone has issues with painting other than they use cheap product or really didn't know what the hell they were doing, or they are just leaving the car sit outside year round.

And I think it needs to be pointed out that automotive "clear coat" isn't the **** made by Minwax you put on wood.
