thats super cool, except for the eventual rust.... any chips in the clear will cause problems, same reason people dont polish steelies.

but ya, thats one hell of a straight shell.

I know, personally I feel completely satisfied with the knowledge gained by the post from the guru. I just wish he could tell us more, maybe one day we will be graced with his ever vast knowledge of hacking cars together with double bubble.

Any chip in any paint job caused problems..... especially when you only put down just enough to cover.  Perhaps try spraying more than one coat.  I know it goes against everything you've been taught but you get what you pay for, nothing good is cheap, and automotive paint shouldn't wash off.
