Hey Gang,
In case you hadn't heard! the Airstream Factory in Ohio is doing
Restoration work on Vintage Trailers. I haven't inquired about Clear Coating
because I find a polished Finish to be much more appealing. If anyone is
interested they can call factory Customer Service 937.596.6111 x7401 or
email mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask . They will also be the best
source for finding Dealers in Your area that are doing this kind of work!
