Re: Mitsubishi GTO

ok
about the subaru.....what was the condition when you sprayed the clear coat. you should have spray under hot weather so that it will not turn color and appaer clear.

Re: Mitsubishi GTO

Try putting the can in warm water a few minutes before spraying.

Re: Mitsubishi GTO

I have read that you boil water, and then set the can in it for a few minutes? I am not totally sure though.

Re: Mitsubishi GTO

Re: Mitsubishi GTO

I read about somebody who put it in boiling water and the can exploded so probably not.

Re: Mitsubishi GTO
