How about the windscreen? Do you spray with clear gloss and polish? Or just polish?

It is a mild abrasive! All it does is smooth the surface of the paint!
Try various companies until you find one you like! I really find it hard to believe you guys find it hard to get! Any small car accessory shop will stock it! |

Hey,
I got a question. If I do a car such as the Tom's Castrol Supra that has so much decals, I have to prime it a few coats right? So could I leave the primer's colour(white)? and what next? A clear coat for shine? But where do the decals come in? After priming, do I add a coat of clear coat then apply decals and apply yet a few more clear coats?? Is that how it is or do the decals just stay on the top layer? I find that some sprays, due to toxins, could burn or severely damage the decals. So I wanted to know... ---Thanks |

No, always spray over the primer with a colour, i.e Ford Diamond white for a crisp white, Peugeot Alpine white for a bluey white, or Toyota White for a creamy white!
White Primer is almost a piercing white, therefore not realistic at all! Then you can put the decals over the white paint, and then the lacquer over the decals. After trying both methods, I have decided lacquering the decals is best as it seals and protects them. Go light with the first coats of lacquer though, it will damage the decal. You just have to hope it settles well as it dries. But then add a good few coats. You don't want to rub through. Incidently, you black line the doors BEFORE lacquer, as you will find the door gaps soon disappear with a few coats of the clear stuff! |
