I tried that on both the '78 450SLC and the '90 300D 2.5T from Snook. Total failure in both cases. The areas sprayed with the clear (after sanding and feathering, etc.) still looked like bad spots, just different than before. I think stripping and repainting is the only way to make one look good again, or just leave it alone and live with it (lowers the theft risk?).
