I hope this is the right section to post this. My first post. I'm currently in the process of repainting my 94 Porsche 968. It's Guards Red. After googling and reading for what seems like an eternity, there is no doubt that SPI products and BarryK have a great fan base. My question is regarding the durability of the SPI clears (specifically Universal) vs. other brands (most likely PPG since they are 5 blocks from me). I read somewhere that the UC is soft and easily swirled even from car washes. If this IS the case, do you recommend another clear? I've read somewhere that BarryK likes PPG DCU2002. I am looking for a shine and depth that beats the OE finish, but I need to be practical also.
Oh and my skills are average. Last car I sprayed was about 10yrs ago with enamel. It was a work van with severe oxidation. Got off work early one day and on a whim went to paint store to buy paint and sprayed outside when I got home. Didn't sand, scuff or anything. Just washed and painted. Lasted for 5 years.
Anyway, the reason I say this is because I notice a lot of members refer to the Universal Clear as the noob clear. Great for me
Thanks,
