Once again great finish Dirty, how does the sealer handle UV and weathering? Any special care for the finish? Water proof? Thanks for all your posts.

PS- is this the stuff you used?

This is the stuff, but i think they changed the color of the label to green.

It should hold up, it wont see to much moisture.

Thanks, Jesse

You're doing a great job with the truck, I like it.

I've had that stuff on my truck for 3 years, maybe a little more. It sits outside all year through winters. It has held up ok, but has started to turn a little chalky looking. When I go to the car wash and use the wand, I can see where I sprayed it like I just painted it and tiger striped it. It hasn't got rust coming through anywhere except for where there is a hole or a crack. If you keep it indoors and hand wash it, I bet you will be happy for 5 or more years. It's supposed to be water poor or resistant, but I would think it's going to get some contamination obsorbed into it.

man, that's sweet...considering my infatuation with the surf-themed cars/trucks, i always thought it would be cool to do a bamboo bed in a 60-66...what really got me thinking was that Ratiki Suburban:
