The photos aren't loading into my album correctly for some reason. I'll keep messing around with it.

Re: DIY Clear-coat failure repair
StreetLight you got mad skills. The before/afters are dramatic.
Tuscarora Dave has a thread where he was able to get the color match from a paint supplier in a rattle can.
Did a little bumper repair in my new shop.
I'm sure that you'll be a big influence on these forums
Keep up the good work

Re: DIY Clear-coat failure repair
Thanks Vegas, I hope to contribute whatever I can lord knows I've learned a lot from the members here already. The process I used was similar to TD's in the link you posted, but this was a quickie took me about 3 hours, and maybe another half or so tomorrow to finish with the polishing. Now I don't have to look at that ugly faded mess on my bumper, exciting!
Yes, and you can get a local paint supply shop to match colors in a rattle can for you. A big plus is that if you have the car available they can usually match the color directly to whats there already. That way if the O.E paint is faded they can match that and not just mix it up using the paint code. If you blend it correctly though its very hard to notice the subtle change in tint.

We all come to the table with different abilities...but we come to learn.
This undertaking is awesome. No doubt that you will inspire others to attempt this on their own...and save $$$ in the process.
You motivated me to attempt the $50 Rustoleum results on a junker that a relative has just sitting in a field. Just curious...that's all.
