It sounds like a good product if you don't have painting equipment. It use to be $50 a can though.
No worries, I do agree with you and PW that the best way to go is to have a pro do the clear coat. For me, the downsides of the SpayMax (and other 2 part catalyst in a can solutions) are:

- expensive
- dangerous to use without proper respirator equipment
- practically impossible to properly control environmental and clean conditions without a paint booth (true for all home painting projects)

So, I use this type of product for small projects like headlight lenses, bumperettes and small bike projects but not for anything else. When my side skirts come in, they’re off to the body shop along with my FVD turbo style side intakes.
