It’s just getting old hearing people say: “Your car is going to look like a rainbow when it’s done” when in reality, they probably wouldn’t know unless I told them or they got on the ground and crawled under the car. ---

> [@reliant\_turbo](#): > > thanks, i couldnt remember if he said hed topcoat it and i had no idea which page to start looking on lol 🙂 Actually I didn’t topcoat it. From what I read though, the UV only damages the finish and not the durability. I also found out that a lot of guys paint their frame with it, never top-coat and never have any issues w/ dulling. I think its more an issue with it being exposed to direct sunlight.

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > getting the engine block back soon? When you get it back, whats the estimate for getting it back together and ready for installation? Well, hopefully it will assemble well. I’d say a weekend for that. Was shooting to get it done this weekend, but not gonna happen. Hopefully next week. I’ve seen the way my time projections go, so I am not going to go more than 1 week now, lol. ---
