Question for the Experienced Body and Paint Guys

Agree with Post #9 .You might get away with it but now you have to mount them without chipping. Hoods and trunks are finnicky getting them just right. JMO. Now I painted my Ragtop going on 3 years now with PPG single stage black and the paint now sucks. Fades a bit every season and I have to buff and or keep waxing it. This paint was never like this. If you already bought the paint you could topcoat it with clear but risk what is called panel pop (little pin holes in the paint). To avoid that you have to be patient and give each coat sufficient time to flash. Still risky. Suggest base/clearcoat .
