I have the V2 McKee's 37 Paint Coating sitting on a shelf waiting to go on. I also purchased CarPro Essence which can do a light correction/fill of fine scratches and then you put the coating right over it (basically a coating primer that does light correction).

As another option...I mentioned the Duragloss Enviroshield above. Wash, clay, apply their squeaky clean...and apply the coating.

Where are you guys located? I have a guy in NC that will do the works (paint, wheels, windows) for $1200. 7 year warranty. He does a lot of NFL cars (got me Kuechly's signature on a Yeti a few years ago). He's mobile and would probably travel if it's reasonable. He did my Mustang (which I recently sold) earlier this year and I'll probably have my SHO done soon.

$1200? Good grief! Do you never have to wash your car again?

How much are you finding it for? For the entire exterior?

Depending on the products he uses and how much work is needed, that price sounds pretty average.

I 100% agree. I am actually tackling this project this weekend....wish me luck.

I will post a new thread with everything. Products used, ect. I'll post some before, during, and after pics so people can see how it goes. I plan on washing, de iron her, then clay bar, then a full inspection. I compound, polished, and waxed, her about 3 months back. I may need to compound a couple places on some panels again depending on my findings. I will give her a full polish, buff, then Isopropyl alcohol wipe down. Then the ceramic coat will go on.

That's why I pay someone to do it. Too many steps lol. Good luck! Looking forward to seeing it unfold.

I get that, if everything goes well it shouldnt take me long. I have already done most of the hard work a couple months back. I am excited to see what happens.

Looks great man! I like the re-badging too. And that license plate!! I almost spit my coffee once I figured out what it was saying.

Thank you. First thing I did when I got her home was remove the trunk badging. I went with the Bull Badges because I wanted to cover the Ford emblem, and wanted something different. Once I get my wheels the only thing that will say SHO on the car is the side badges which I will not remove.

The plate was donated from my old twin turbo Camaro. It fit the SHO because after she was tuned, no 5.0 has touched her on the street....so.....
