Clear Coating


Here's how it worked. The project's art director, Shirley Barhaug, "volunteered" her bear, Hiding in the Forest, to be the guinea bear.

Without clear coating, the bears could never survive a Wyoming summer outdoors -- high winds, UV rays, snow (maybe rain). So, protection was a necssity.

Rob Marshall of Marshall Auto Body Repair and Restoration of Cody (after careful testing) applied first one coat, then a second to Shirley's "Hiding." Would it work?

You be the judge. Come to Cody this summer and see "Hiding" and all of the other bears on display on the streets of Park County's three towns.

Many thanks to Rob for his skill, facilities, and help with this project. Anyone else needing his help, he's at 326 North Blackburn in Cody, telephone 527-7702.
