I meant to add some detail for anyone that wants to use POR to do theirs. You'll need a whole day to do 3 coats. I broke mine up into 2 days. I had to wait to start till about 10am for the temp to come up.
Day 1 was the top and side surfaces. Day 2 was the bottom surfaces.
Tack time between the coats was 2.5 to 3ish hours.
Two coats almost covered it. I used the painter trick of shining a flashlight at it with the lights out to find the thin coverage areas and just did those for round 3. It worked well.
My ambient temp was about 80, humidity was <20%
My night temps dropped to 60ish in the garage.
It took about 1 week to really cure.
The sheen is "variable". This is the semigloss version and the gloss has some variance. It's definitely not Ridler award winning, but very acceptable for a nice driver.
It has been durable so far. I've been reassembling and it hasn't scratched yet.
