So what will you clear it with, Joe. And since I know you too well, don't say clear.  |

Did you thin it with lacquer thinner?

Yup and went with very light coats so it didn't eat through the enamel... the chemical reaction is stronger then the enamel and can eat it up or cause it to blister if you go too heavy and then you have to strip and start over... no different then using the old dullcote on armor... been using that for years to dull down the enamels... light hand and let it dry well before doing anything else... or you can always use Future Floor polish...  |

Had a big mishap on this one yesterday... wanted a deeper color red so in the middle of applying it the power went off and back on during a rain and wind storm and sent a major paint splatter all over the drivers side door and fender... gonna have to strip it off and start over... I was not a happy boy...
