Holding up real good.. but we did use a lot of coats... we did like three coats of black and like four coats of clear... did it two years ago and still looks great

you mean my stripes.... that was did with normal clear.. i just masked off the black and buffed and waxed the stripes..... then pull the tape off and it looks good.. just dont wax the flat clear it will mess up the finish....

Thats what I mean. I had mine in satin paint but decided to go the extra mile and go gloss because I didnt like the idea of not being able to buff it without creating a very noticable area in the clear. Yours turned out good though

PPG has an additive for clear that is used to make the clear semi-gloss, egg-shell, or flat. It all depends on how much additive is added to the clear. It works really good as long as you follow the mixing instructions on the tech sheet.
I have a can of it at work and have used it a couple times with good results. I will see if I can get the number off the can for you.
