Re: My new items to install (OHC and Auto dim Mirror)
I do the clear to prevent chipping. I did the door handle bezels with about 5 coats of clear and I dont think they will ever chip lol

Re: My new items to install (OHC and Auto dim Mirror)
i decided to not go with some clear, i had done a test piece to see how the color of the paint would change and it made the paint almost like a Matte finish there was no "sparkle" to the paint it was just gray, even after polishing the clear coat. so i figure since i wont be touching the paint on the ohc all that much i wont even add a coat of clear.
----------
btw i am using duplicolor automotive clear

Re: My new items to install (OHC and Auto dim Mirror)
i know this is kind of excessive, but anyways
Wiring Harness:
perfectly hidden.
Soldered the connections
marked and cut the headliner.
marked the clip slots
made slits in the metal.
used such tool (love harbor freight)
folded the remaining metal back.
Drilled 3/32 holes to accommodate screws
finished product
also picked up some brighter dome light bulbs 18 watts i believe?
