for lack of the tech term for Endura, my best description would be a 'plastic paint'. very flexible very tough, good color selection. and no it would not look stock. the problem i have encountered in the past with not clear coating however is that the panels get super dirty super fast and you can't clean them without ripping off your paint. by the way clear coat does not mean glossy, you decide when you pick up your CC how much gloss you want in it. any reputable autobody supply depot should be able to walk you through the process(it all much easier then it sounds)

You should be able to get SEM products from most major auto parts distributors like NAPA, Lordco, Bumper to Bumper, etc.

You could also try using a primer and mixing in tint until you get your color and your sheen. I'm not experienced at this but it seems to be the trend in custom classic rides these days.

Hey,
i just went to CarQuest and got the SEM Texture Coating textured paint (1 quart $37). on top of that i also got a satin black spray can so the texture paint doesn't scuff too easily. too bad this texture paint is a single stage and any thinners will wipe it right off otherwise i would give it a couple of thin coats...
gonna do it today and take pictures... hopefully it'll turn alright and i can take pics to post!

wish me luck!
