Jayson M : I like it when the cladding is a different color than the car,it can be a mile off and you can get away with it
lild : Hey month is the hardest work around the clock there is.

jeremyb : there was no color up to where it meets the quarter..just clear
jeremyb : used sikkens mat clear
lild : I think his goal to make a car completely out of plastic
