yeah I have had a few guys say they wont use the spi epoxy anymore because its too shiny. mostly the corvette guys since its not the correct sheen for the frame.
i just spent a lot of time with one of them. on and on about ncrs stuff. had to be lacquer and fact perfect . right up until he found out he would 150k in a car worth 75k . if your going for a top flight car you best start with a med flight car.
