Hey John!

That's great you are digging into the details! Unfortunately I can not give
you what you are looking for ;)

Seriously, Email or call Sal and he will be happy to talk to you about your
buildup question. Please post what you find out. I am not planning on having
300 coats, but over a 10 year period I could end up with 50.

Cheerios!

Sean, I've seen the pictures, and agree that the shine is VERY impressive.
One of my co-workers here uses their products on his Mushtang. But, the fact
remains. If you put on enough coats that you can no longer feel a decal,
then there is buildup. My experience with paint tells me that the buildup
required to smooth over a decal is substantial. At that point, you need to
be concerned with cracking and peeling of the finish. Also note the picture
of the hood, second from the bottom and the owners comments. "it now looks
as if its painted on after building the coats of Zaino...."
Does this mean only that if LOOKS like it's painted on, or are you really
unable to FEEL the decal.
I would like to give this stuff a try, but I want to know as much about it
before I order. I know it's not paint and comparing the two may not be
correct, but build up is build up.
John
