I'm a huge, huge fan of this method and highly recommend it. You can get any color you want, and it has a great appearance. The polycarb also gives it a very glossy finish regardless of paint. I almost did this 973 this year, but was lazy and plotted paper panels to adhere to the back. I regretted it all season.
