Thanks for the clarification Jim.
Out of interest, you mentioned that you lay down four coats (of your clear) in the initial coating. For higher end work, I’m using PPG D8210 HS clear (3:1:1) and the recommended application is 1 medium, followed by 1 full wet coat.
Obviously I’m not going to have the same film build with 2 coats compared to your 4. Do you see any issue in still using a 400 dry with only 2 coats, or should I step up to a 500 or 600 dry?
On your second clear application, how many coats are you applying, and are you over-reducing in this instance?
Cheers,
SimeAnother question for you Jim.
Have you ever tried this method with a water borne basecoat?
One thing I’ve found with WB is that when you put “plenty” of clear on in one session, it can send dark colours slightly milky or cloudy. Not markedly so, and probably not something most customers would notice, but I definitely see a loss of clarity.
Cheers 🙂
