ant1 Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 i am in the process of stripping an old mini italjet. sandblasted all the frame work and tank back to metal and etch primed i will be ready to paint soon. i will be doing this with 2k spray can paint. i have been told there is no need for top coat lacquer after spraying but have watched a few clips on utube where people do put on a top clear coat. so should i clear coat or not clear coat. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckyshot Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 If its 2k direct gloss no need for clear coat, if its base coat then go ahead and clear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
