I am in the process of rebuilding the original 1988 Morrison Cook SCCA Escort Endurance Series Iroc that won the championship in 88 and trying to get it back to as it looked when raced.
From the factory these cars had base only under the hood and bottom side of the car and never got any clear over those areas. I have stripped everything to bare metal and Friday sprayed it in gray SPI epoxy. I am planning on spraying the white [base GM code 40] and a friend suggested adding hardener to the base since it wont be getting clear coated.
I came across an older thread on here talking about adding 1 ounce of the clear hardener [ iirc] to base paint for adhesion purposes but would this also work in my case to give it a little durability? If not is there a better way to duplicate this look?
