    Chuck....another question for you. It has been over three weeks since the paint was laid down on the fairing. Now that I have it polished, I am looking to protect it. Can I put wax on the new paint yet? I use that crystal-glo polish. It is an acrylic, like zaino. Works awesome.

    seahag, if it were me and i lived where you do, i would wait another week or so. it really takes a while for the rattle can paints to cure. it may feel tough but it may not be completly dry. if there is an inconspicuious place you can test.......use your finger nail to see if you can leave an impression. if you can, wait a bit, if not, polish away.
    again, i think it turned out great and you should be proud of what you accomplished.......!!!!!!!! :D
