Brad, thanks for inviting me over and acknowledgemen t! Jason, the car was painted with Urethane and cleared. Although Urethane does not need to be cleared because it will dry shiny and pretty resilient my experience has been that a clear coat finish is less prone to fade and as such is lower maintenance. I managed Brad's repair but my cousin and protégé put in most of the sweat. He has been working on my Buicks with my direction for years and I can gladly say he graduated to be damn good with these cars!
