He has way more patience than me...

I would've just bought brand new black, and zapped it with the correct paint style combo in an aerosol can. Carquest had the L87 for me.

So ...Itskyle, how did the rattle-can fender bead paint work out? How is it holding up to the weather ....is it cracking? What do you mean by 'correct paint style combo'? Did you treat the black fender bead with anything before painting (ie: laquer thinner, etc?) Can you post photos?

Thanks.
