I'm into final prime (more like 3rd final prime) and blocked to 500 so just about ready to shoot my j5 sublime. originally I bought Nasson, but someone recently stated the Nasson is garbage and in the Nv sun it won't last but a few years. I plan on garaging it of course and only taking it out on the weekends, but I dont want to scrimp on the paint as I have hundreds of hours into the bodywork. The recommendation was Silkens -but will the additional cost of buying all new paint (when I already have the Nasson) be worth it?
I also was not sure how I wanted to put the billboards on and paint the go-wing. I have a small amount of the correct argent black for the tail panel. So my question is do I buy the gloss black vinyl off ebay (or where ever you can suggest) and clear over it? or do I buy the flat black vinyl and put it on like a big sticker after the paint is settled after a couple weeks? I would think those stickers would fade pretty quickly compared to the paint, so I'm guessing clearing over the vinyl is the proper way to put those on? My goal is to keep it looking pretty stock except for maybe some torque thrust 2 rims (I like that look). If some one has a good how to or can point me in the right direction on how to put those Billborads on I would really appreciate it -thanks in advance
