Yep, I can wax mine for sure...I have a couple of coats of flattened clear on my satin paint. I haven't needed to wax it yet though...just a few wipe downs is all that has been needed.

Im going to be using Oracle vinyl, my friend has an account with them for his business
3m dinoc ftw..signs are not the same as a car, similar principles a WHOLE lot different procedure. expect your old effed up paint to come off with the stickers
Also we did a matte white over a red audi s4 avant and it looks great. 3m makes some great stuff. initially you will not notice a difference between the two products. give it a few weeks when one starts to peel like the white one in canada. talk about a horrible job. i can say that i know what it takes to put on wraps RIGHT. it takes alot of skill in knife work.

Why wouldn't I ask?
If I don't know something, how the hell would I find an answer without asking?
This is something I've never had and will probably never have, each to his own, but on certain cars an interesting way to go.
Actually I always wondered this for a long time, 30-40 years, when the old (50s-60s) street rods were primer finished.
I'm sure they didn't have anything back then including flat clear, it was wash only

Yeah ... I'm not going to spend ~$400+ just to find out what I just wasted a day on is "on the doo doo end of the spectrum" ...
If you work at McDonalds then it's still ~$200+ and an entire day wasted ...

Wait for a real re-spray but that's not an option. My clearcoat is peeling in 3 different places on my wagon and I'm gonna do the right thing and get it re-sprayed this winter.

My point was simply the value of your time when trying something that may end up "on the doo doo end of the spectrum...."
That same amount of time could be spent on paint or a motor swap with better results. I wouldn't waste that much time just to stand back and look at it saying "Well, I guess that didn't turn out like I expected ..." then undo what I just did.
If any of you are budget minded then learning to paint is your best bet. Materials are cheap and you can practice on damn near everything.
Hell, there's entire forum threads dedicated to people that have rattle canned entire cars. They come out good when the painter knows how to prep and took the time to do some practice work beforehand. Now, go look up the comparable threads on diy entire car vinyl jobs. If it came out nice then it was $$$.

I would have to vote for saving the $$ and putting it towards a real paint job. Way too much effort and money involved for a temporary solution.

If I had the money for a decent paint job, I'd be all over this color. Not sure what the color is called, but this or Hugger Orange.

I think any wrap is going to look bad over poor paint - it's like painting over poor prep work - it all shows up in the finish..
Acrylic is not oil based - Lacquer is oil base. Pretty sure acrylic paint was not used on cars until much more recently...
