if you want to do it right its more than just a spray can.. you need to get clear coat + reducer + hardner and shoot it in a paint booth. take it to a paint shop

My body guy said to use a 2 part urethane clear coat. It will provide the highest gloss, most protection and last the longest. I'd consider having it done professionally for the best results.

My plan is to take it to a bodyshop but if some good advice is given here I might do it myself also.

Not to upset the body shop guys.... but there are apparently a couple "professional" type "cans" out there.

I have not used any of these, but am considering using one of these on my wing in the near future.

http://www.alsacorp.com/products/kil...speedclear.htm

The above are 2K products, the below is a 1K, which is cheaper but not too cheap and claims to blend well with existing 2K finishes.

I used 2 cans of rustoleum high heat clear gloss. My wings been fine for a year and a half. No issues after using that.
