I put base coat/clear coat on my Tiger a decade ago.

It has held up well out in the weather in cross country and local driving an=
d if curious it can be seen at the upcoming SUNI meeting in Independence, Mo=
.

However I=E2=80=99ve come to feel it=E2=80=99s shinier than my preference fo=
r a stock, =E2=80=9Cfactory look.=E2=80=9D

So ... just sayin that single stage paint is something to consider.

I=E2=80=99ll definitely look into it should the car ever get a respray.

It=E2=80=99s not widely available but it *is* available.

Just my $0.02 worth :)
