Hi Guy's,

Does anybody know anything about clear coating ?? I have been spraying small pieces of my bike in two pack metallic paint which you need clear coat afterwards.  I have a single pack acrylic clear coat, when I first used it, it reacted with the paint. Maybe I didn't leave the base coat to dry long enough or do you need to use two pack clear with two pack paint. ??   OR......does acrylic  clear react with two pack paint?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If it reacted, sounds like you're mixing lacquers and enamels...??

I can check with our body man tomorrow.

Unless someone else knows.....

yes, acrylic's and laquer wrinkle each other.  Read to labels and follow directions and warnings.
I found out and had to re-work :-X. Patience is always key.
