        Thanks! There are no secrets with BC/CC paint systems to revive it, once the clear starts delaminating and coming off the only real way is to sand off all that is bad and respray.. Mines single stage, that's why it came back like this, was just faded out from sun/time..

          Love the car, but the question needs to be asked...

          When are you going to get back into the Festiva game? :smile:

              That's a great looking car, can't wait to see it at the Iowa meet.
              An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

                  That looks awesome. Did you do it by hand or with a machine.

                    Judging from the cloth in pic #1, I'd bet it was a hand job.
                    The real question is did he magic erase the TPO bumpers?

                            Thanks guys! Yes did it by hand, paint is rather thin on it so better safe than sorry. I didn't touch the bumpers any.
