Looks nice.

Spraying the inside will give the same effect, but you'll still have the shiny plastic look in daylight.

Excellent work Greg, I like it. Is this a one coat process? And does it look like it will hold up over time?



PS- calm down children.

Timmya seriously just needs to think before he speaks, he's said some very, very dumb things to me (and in the forum), he refuses to research on his own, he always wants information given to him and researched for him. No offence Timmya, but you're too old to rely on other people, you need to read and research before posting/speaking.
