Yes, you can also use mineral spirits, but it wont evaporate as quickly. Water will show you what it would look like to, however, it would raise the grain and require additional sanding.

Can you put clear coat over krylon fusion paint?

Yes You Can, This info came directly from Krylon about clear coating their Fusion Paint. Thank you for your inquiry with Krylon. While the Fusion is a hard, protective, durable finish on its own, the film is not impervious. Keep in mind, Fusion is still a paint coating and can be nicked, scratched, or damaged. Consistent friction or direct pressure with a sharp object will damage the film. Please allow the last coat of Fusion to dry for 7-10 days to reach the film's maximum hardness and cure time. If you would like to add a sacrificial clear coating over the Fusion, I would suggest using the Krylon Low Odor Clear Finish or the Minwax Polycrylic. Both of these clear coatings may be applied to a fully cured Fusion paint film. Please allow the last coat of Fusion to dry for at least 7-10 days before top coating. NOTE: Technically you are applying a clear finish that will take the brunt of daily wear and tear before the underlying paint film. The clear finish will not be any easier to touch up and recoat then just applying an additional coat of the Fusion paint. This is the reason we do not offer a clear finish in the Fusion Line. The clear finish will not be any more durable than the Fusion paint film; but may not show the wear as quickly because of the transparent nature of clear films.

Mixed urethane clear with base coat?

sure, it is called bace coat/clear coat system and they have been doing it since 1986 ish. Spray your bace till covered let it dry tack cloth the finish then spray your clear, follow directions on can I think the question is whether or not to mix the base coat WITH the clear before applying. It will defeat the purpose of the clear coat as a UV protectant to the base coat. You can do it but I certainly would not recommend it.

Will acetone ruin car paint?

If it is a recent model car, with clear coat (1990s and newer), Acetone is safe for removing tar/asphalt splashes. Acetone can affect the finish if allowed to soak for a long period of time, however, it evaporates very quickly so this is not usually an issue. Fingernail Polish remover is very often Acetone with scent, as well as many "tar removal" products from an auto parts store. If you wax your car, you'll need to re-apply the wax after washing. If your car does not have clear coat, the finish tends to turn white/chalky after sitting in sunlight, if the car is washed and waxed, acetone will remove the wax, so re-applying wax is more important than vehicles with a base/clear coat finish.

Can you put a dark finish directly over a light oak finish?

If you are refinishing a piece of furniture, any finish can be applied provided you strip the lacquer or varnish (clear coat) first. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, depending on the type of finish you are removing. Keep in mind that if the piece is an antique, removing or altering the finish in any way may reduce the value of the piece. Also, any color finish that is present when applying the new finish will alter the final color. Additionally, you should sand the applied finish (varnish or lacquer) between coats. Your best bet is to consult a manual for refinishing if you are intent on doing it yourself, or take the piece to a professional if your finances permit.
