    thanks a lot. I just watched this and it worked fantastic, but I still have to seal it. Instead of sanding the paint I scraped graphite pencil lead off with a razor blade and place it on with a brush and then rubbed it in with my finger. It looks like heavy grime in thicker spots and dulls the paint everywhere else like the sun would. You should try it!

    I’ve used Testor’s Dullcote in the past. It does tend to lighten the chalk a bit but it does protect it from thumb prints.

    Well…I suppose if you had the right colors. I’ve never tried it so I can’t say for sure. You could try things out on a really cheap car to see if it works.
