    Default Paint Difference

    What is the difference between the paint on a Spyder and the paint on a car or truck. Don't both have several layers of clear coat on them as well?

    The stock Spyder paint doesn't have clear. That's why the small scratches show so quickly.

    THE PAINT IS CLEAR COATED.. THEY ARE ALL PAINTED WITH URETHANE.. 2 STAGE SYSTEM 3 STAGE IF YOU HAVE A PEARL COLOR.. IF YOU WANT TO TEST.. JUST TAKE A PIECE OF WET OR DRY SAND PAPER ( THE BLACK STUFF) 600 GRIT OR HIGHER AND QUICK SCUFF THE PAINT IF IT COMES UP THE COLOR OF THE BIKE IT IS NOT CLEAR COATED... IF IT COMES UP WHITE OR A MILKY COLOR ITS CLEAR
