oh yeah the right clear coat surely helps

It was figured out by a buddy that retired from being the head painter at a very large body shop at a dealership. The clear I had was the wrong one for the current temps and it was resulting in the clear nearly drying as I sprayed it on, am I annoyed about all the time I wasted and car is not right, damn straight I am, live and learn right

Vinyl roofs were the shizz back in the 70's & into the early 80's. Both of my first two cars had 'em. Very period-appropriate!

So you painted your car yourself? That seems like a lot of work.
