No topcoat.  Just the basic 3 step process.  I am going to wait and see the effects of UV on it.


I have mostly used por15 on the underside and engine bay of the van, so havent seen any discolorization.  I have seen references to UV effecting the product, is that what it does when exposed to UV, "grays out"?  In general, how long does it take for this to happen?
