Some random Nissan stuff I have been working on.

I warranty it from my hand to yours. 
But seriously, I had the chamelion job on my SR powered 240 (is now in the loving hands of RoadRacer) and it must have been nearly a year since I painted that cover. It still looks great, even if it is sitting beside the turbo. My trick is that I use a wheel paint clear that stands up to more abuse than a normal acrylic clear.
Anyway, I am not a shop or anything, just a guy with a couple of cans in my hand.

Yep. I seem to have awesome results with it. Nothing wrong with it, you just have to pay attention to prep. When you think you have prepped it enough, do it some more. I use an awesome surface degreaser/de-waxer and tack cloths. The tack cloths keep the surface from becoming grainy. If there is any orange peel, 2000 grit sandpaper will knock it down in between coats.
