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.
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.
Sure but without pressure for the first month until the clear dries fully
Acrylic Urathane single stage (most common and budget friendly), or a two stage base coat/clear coat paint system (long lasting, can buff out scratches, more expensive).
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

To properly apply clear coat over stained wood for a smooth and durable finish, follow these steps: Sand the stained wood surface to ensure it is smooth and free of imperfections. Clean the surface to remove any dust or debris. Apply a thin, even coat of clear coat using a high-quality brush or sprayer. Allow the clear coat to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper between coats to ensure a smooth finish. Apply additional coats of clear coat as needed, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Once the final coat is dry, buff the surface with a fine-grit sandpaper or polishing compound for a smooth and glossy finish.
For optimal protection and finish on wood, it is recommended to apply at least two coats of clear coat.
If there are scratches on the surface before you clear coat, the clear will not come out smooth. If you are spraying new clear coat over an old clear coat, the entire surface must be wet sanded with at least a 600 grit wet/dry paper so the surface is rough enough to accept the clear. If you are spraying new clear over an new base coat, the same techinque for prepping the surface will be necessary if the base coat has dried.
Clear coat is applied over a base color for the gloss
No, you should not mix clear coat with 2K paint. Clear coat is typically a separate finishing product designed to protect and enhance the appearance of the paint underneath. Mixing them can lead to improper curing and affect the durability and finish quality. It's best to apply the clear coat as a top layer after the 2K paint has fully cured.
