How do you make paint protection for automotive paints?
Paint correction my friend is a very involved process that can stem from simple polishing and glazing with a high speed buffer for car wash scratches to moderate scratches to Wet Sanding the Orange peel out of an entire paint job.

Can you clear coat over primer and not use a color coat when painting a vehicle?
Though it is possible to get clear coat to adhere to primer, there are a couple of reasons this is a bad idea. The first and foremost reason is that the primers main job is corrosion protection, coupled with a chemical and mechanical foundation coat for basecoat or color coat in a single stage system, it is not designed to be clear coated. The chemical bond between primer and clear coat would be very weak. Base coat paints have modifications in the resins to allow them to adhere to the primers, and still give the clear coat the proper foundation for it to adhere to, while flowing out in the wet look finish it is designed to have. Also, most of the primer jobs you see running around will have sun faded areas, as well as bleaching in short order. If you want the flat primer look, but have a job that will last, prime the vehicle, base coat it in the gray color you want, but clear coat it with one of the prepackage flat clear coats that are available. The resulting job looks like it is "just primer" but has all the chemical and physical protection of a traditional clear coat job, just not the gloss.

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.

Why is paint work on the car is peeling?
The car was not prepped right. Klix- Wax & Grease remover was not use. bad primer or maybe no harder in primer. or Rust under paint. it can go on and on.

I also seen a factor fender that had factory primer get painted and the paint peeled off because it was not prepped.
