Hey everyone,I thought I would try there one coat laq paint l tryed the mystic maroon ,I think that's what called,it layed down beuitifully,question is do you clear coat this or do you polish it out as is,and if you do can you use other clears or should stick with there one coat clear,I was under impression that paint with metalflakes need to be cleared before polished out

If you're going to polish it, clear coat it first. Polishing that color "opens up" the flakes and changes the color significantly. Please don't ask me how I know this. :lol:

If you lay down the spray just right, it will have a decent shine to it but you can't polish it.  Otherwise clear coat it like Snake says.

The OneCoat Wet Look Clear is actually pretty good. I use it on the Testors Model Master lacquer series and Tamiya lacquers as well. You should apply it within 15 minutes of your last color coat, or wait a few days and apply it.
