I took all of my panels off and had a friend of mine paint them. However at the same time he painted my new Airflow bumpers. I spent about 14 hours wetsanding all the pieces to remove the old paint and give the new stuff a good surface to adhere to. Depending on the look your going for, if you want it to look factory you need matte or semigloss clear. The semigloss is a little more shiny but still isn't the same as the cars clear. I used a regular clear because I wanted my SPG to have the monochromatic look to it. Paint came out awesome and it matches the car very well. However we'll see how well the gloss clear stands up to road grit. The matte will most likely weather better than the clear, but thats what my friends good for. Although in 3-4 years I'll repaint the entire car.
