i went to go buy some paint for it i grabbed omni plus paint colour code nh-0 and thats called championship white
later on i went to buy clear coati dont no how the clear coat process workk.( i know how to use it but not the mixing part)
i need mixing instructions
and also wondering if ill need reducer?
and this is what i got from a near body shop. u-pol with hardner

well it mixes 4 parts clear ta 1 part hardener or activator ya shouldnt need any reducer for it an ya might wanna take that fast activator back an get some medium activator
yup , like bondo says , except that U-Pol sprays a little easier with 5-10% reducer but not a must
What kind of plastic are you using to mask with? If it is some plastic from a home supply store don’t spray directly on it. Make sure it is made for masking cars and it corona treated or else the paint will fly off of it.
Take that activator back and get SLOW or u will have dry edges all over the place with that clear. and don’t reduce it because that clear has enuff issues as it is
Just out of curiosity, why aren’t you doing it with single stage since you are going with a solid white?
dammit ben there ya go asking those tough questions again……cant ya see he is painting an acura an not a run of the mill honda u macco boys are really starting ta drag the rest of us down hehehee
Oh i see a jdm front clip 😉 like Bondo said I would get some medium activator.

I heard rumors that you wanted to convert your shop to a Maaco franchise…”Bondo’s Maaco Hut” I can just picture it now :rofl
Honestly though, you could probably buy a high quality single stage for the same price (or less) than what low end base/clear costs. Maybe its just me, or that fact that I was originally taught with S.S., but I am just a big fan of it, especially when doing a complete (where you aren’t matching a colour).
