no i don’t unfortunately… the front fenders are raw primer, just like i bought them. i’ve been so busy i haven’t been able to touch the car. hopefully in a few months i’ll be well in to it.

you can use a clear on a satin, but again it isn’t necessary. the c.c. is a low gloss formula. do not use flat paint, as it gets chalky. the lack of clear makes it easier for simple touch ups. if you want it to be shinier, just use a little wd-40. shines it up quite nicely.
