I am working on a speedster and I'm wondering what finish to use on the exposed wood. Guys on a woodworking forum told me that I can stain it and spray it with 2k clear coat, same stuff I'll use over the color on the metal. Is that correct? What do you guys use on woodies, speedsters etc?

Man O War Spar Varnish. Stands up the weather and sunshine real well. Takes several coats, is slow to dry but it is worth it.

As SSsssteamer said an exterior spar varnish is a good way to go.
