thanks jon!

you start with the stock panels and build them out with mdf rings, fleece,
glass

there's 5 coats of clear ontop of the base color....it'll be as durable as
a custom paint
job. the arm rest and pad will take the brunt of the wear / rubbing.

she's not a daily driver...out only once every week or so during nice
weather for a cruse night or show so she's pampered....

  Wow - looks good, Bob! Is that built completely from scratch, or
are parts of the stock panel still under there?

  Do you have to use some sort of protective coating to guard against
the normal wear and tear that would come from everyday use and simply
sitting in the seat and having clothing rubbing up against the paint?
