Mixing clearcoat with paint, will ruin the paint.

For enamel paints, make sure you use an enamel clearcoat. You should allow the paint to fully cure (at least a week) before attempting to apply the clearcoat. Never use a lacquer based clearcoat on an enamel based paint. It will ruin it.


For lacquer based paint, you should only use a lacquer based clearcoat. The paint should be dry, but does not have to be fully cured, since the lacquer will wet the coat of paint below it anyway.

Can you take your car to a paint shop and just ask for a clear coat?

You can, it depends what you expect in terms of finish quality. You must also consider that there is not much difference in price when it comes to spraying paint and clear coat then clear coat only you still have to sand paint buff the only difference is maybe one or two hours clear coat needs to be removed to apply new clear coat, clear coat also take a great amount of work after drying to achieve oem finish. The answer is yes however having gone that far might as well refresh it unless you just find the clear does not suit your vehicle but that is unlikely.

Is varsol dangerous to car paint?

Varsol, like any other paint thinner can damage the finish of a car. If a small amount of it is splashed on the surface, wiping it up intermediately will not result in much damage, a good polishing will return the clear coat to a satisfactory shine. If a large amount is poured on the surface and/or allowed to stand, the clear-coat will be irrecoverably be damaged. Varsol and other paint thinners are commonly used to thin the paint used to paint cars (usually after-market) with no adverse effects at all.

How much to paint a semi truck with sleeper?

Depending on what all you want but should range in the 6,000.00 to 10,000.00 range. The price will vary according to what type of paint you want to use and whether or not you want to disassemble all of the external hardware and trim before prepping for the paint job. Base-Coat Clear-Coat (Two-Stage) Paints cost more than single-stage (Acrylic Enamel or Urethane). Also some colors such as Reds and Yellows are more expensive also. A very quick "mask/prep/paint" job on a tractor could be performed for as little as $2800 on day cabs. But expect to pay up around the $10,000 range if disassembly is required and you want to use base-coat clear-coat.

How much does paint cost per square foot or meter?

Depends on the quality of the paint. To estimate the cost per square foot, divide the cost of the paint by 350, for square meters, divide the cost by 32.5 and that should give you a pretty good idea of what it will cost for one coat of paint.
