Well thats what i learned at Meguiars.
I agree with you about the thinner clear coat. I have a different scenario. Going to have quite a bit of work done on the car, so I assume it will probably get scratched along the way. Had them leave the factory stripes off since those will be painted on later. Prior to that we will check the finish. Add more black base if need be, then stripes, then a full 3-4 coats of clear.
