Yeah, I realize that value isn't a big concern....still everyone has a comfort level with what their stuff looks like and despite the mileage it looks like a nice truck. If I could "fix" the clear for under $1,000 using the process I'm getting done, I'd be all over it.
This particular "brand name" for the hand applied clear might be a Canadian or even a local thing (I know that it IS a chain of some sort) but there are other products that are similar.
...anyhow, might be worth checking out.
Cheers,
Dave
