    I will post the photos from Killboy.com as soon as they post them up.

    I drove the car one direction (up) the TotD and the Gf drove it back (down), although a lot slower. It was an absolutely amazing day for the drive, very little traffic, and very nice 59 to 65 degrees F

    Looks great I have read that using a paint sealer will help keep them clean. I will be trying it with my next detailing.

    Use a epoxy to resist the heat and putting a sealer/clearcoat is not necessary, most epoxies are glossy.

    Yes I used the clear to protect the sticker, I am sure it acts as a sealer.

    Very nice. Having painted mine, I know it is not as easy to get a smooth look as it may sound. :Thumbsup:
