Nah, no thread. I actually didn't intend to have a half-rattled car, but some bitch ran me off the road and screwed my driver door and fender. So when I replaced those it seemed like a good time to do my S5 conversion, in the process I also repainted the hatch which had overspray and peeling clear. and figured I'd replace both fenders. I still have a vented hood to install/paint too, it will be closer to 75% by then lol.

I'm considering having macco spray the clear because I don't feel like removing all the parts again, plus it seems that clear is the hardest part to get right w/ rattle cans.

From all my experiences with clear rattle can, as long as you cover the painted area in a even clear coat, wet sanding evens everything out after the clear coat has cured of course.

Yea, I'll go and price some SEM clear coat, if its not too bad I guess I'll pull the parts and do it myself, just gotta hurry before the paint gets too contaminated/faded
