Sambo, it looks like we have over 80% of owners not painting their cars over the long term. Amazing hey, not what we were expecting at all.

Absolute......ly......heh heh.....see what I did there....heh heh,

I wouldn't say the finish is as good as a $10,000 paint job...but still, it's bloody impressive....
and when you get a nick/chip, gelcoat repairs almost invisibly,whereby expensive paint jobs are very hard to keep unblemished.

Most "normal" people,( i.e. not one of US!!)...wouldn't know what gelcoat was, and all they see is a really cool shiny Cobra....would never know(or care) that it wasn't paint.

Cheers,
