Hi All
New to forum and just about to start respraying panels on my car.I have bought paint to match original color what is Honda Super Sonic Blue Pearl B-90P.With that i bought 5 liters of thinners and 1k clear coat.Now after reading forum posts i think i have base coat nailed.Its the clear coat bit sketchy on.I will apply 2-3 coats of base coat,leave for about 40 mins then a 1500 grade gentle rub over followed by 2-3 coats of clear.Now my base will be mixed 50-50 with thinner,but what about clear coat is this also a 50-50 mix or should this b neat.Any advice welcome.
