Impossible to answer without noting products planning on using. DuPont ppg sikkens sherwin Williams etc..... Then which line. What temperature. In a spray booth or open garage or out side....
do you use hardner or reducer in clear coat car paint?
Usually there is a base coat of a solid colour, a coat of the chameleon paint, and then a clear coat
I don't know about clear coat, but ferrari 's have 21 coats of paint, 14 primer and 7 paint.
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.
theres no sanding when u do a 2 stage paint job,and ull have to wait about 2weeks tobuff the car if it was not baked under heat lamps u only bake if enamel modern paint does not require bake next question asked how long to wait after last clear coat before you color PAY ATTENTION the color coat goes on before the clear coat the clear coat is to protect and fill in any bumps in paint such as metal flake paint bottom line if you clear coat first ,you are wasting your money an your time you do not sand between color coat and clear coat sanding will take away the proper effect clear coat is to finish paint properly
Use a straight enamel the wet sand it with 600 grit for hour and hours and hours and repeat for coat 2 clear coat can not be painted on with brush unless you a magic paint brush lol clear over clear does not work
If the scratch is in the clear coat, then there is a possibility to buff it out. Deep scratches into the color coat need to be color filled matching paint color) then clear coated over.
If it is single stage paint then no if base coat then yes....
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.
Absolutly not. If it's a water based paint just use water. Thinners will destroy the clear coat and expose the paint to other forms of damage
Area will have to be sanded to get rid of the spots which will probably get into the paint. If you are careful 320 grit paper to even the surface out and reapply clear coat. keep in mind if you get into the paint it will have to be srayed color before clear is applied. Clear coat is not that bad cost wise figyre the clear, the activator about 2 Qts for what you are doing about 100.00 to 140.00 for a good clear. Where you shoot it is the problem which could be the expensive part of the deal.
