There is no need for clear coat since rocks and flyin' debris cant hit and chip it.

eK9aT10pSi 03-15-2008 09:39 PM

thx for the comments! i didnt mean to jack jimmy's thread though, lol.

i was thinkin about that but i painted underneath it so that "dulled" out the orange to my liking. i like that shade of dark orange now, lol.

gonefishin76 03-16-2008 05:08 AM

thats a nice mod guys, not sure it would look the same on all colors... some colors do it more justice.
