Thanks. I've already checked into both options. Talked to a few detail shops. Most don't want anything to do with custom paint and especially on fiberglass. Those that might be willing were talking crazy prices. North of $1K to start. I can do a lot of touch up for that.
The 3M Paint Defender system has been discontinued for over a year. Since the shelf life was only supposed to be one year, stock that's still being sold (and it is possible to still find it) is likely out of shelf life. Plus pretty mediocre reviews from what I've seen. Probably why it's not around any more. It's been talked about quite a bit on the other forum.
