Hey, Fellas.... Just wondering if anyone has had any luck polishing DupliColor Perfect Match paints. I know as a rule it needs a clear coat, but the clear I have has a conical spray pattern, instead of the fan spray that I like..... The paint will be a solid color (Universal Black), so maybe I could get away with just polishing the bare paint?

Feel free to show examples, and Thanks for any advice......

Yes, you can definitely polish Duplicolor Perfect Match Universal Black.

I've used it on real parts where I haven't wanted to get all the spray gun mess out, and it works just fine. Even lasts out in the weather, like it's supposed to.

I have some pix of a bunch of custom fiberglass bolt-on parts I made a couple years back for a Jag E-type. 

They're on my other hard drive, so soon as I get that computer online (which will be shortly, as I need to update some build threads too), I'll post 'em.

In the meantime...YES, you can polish the stuff, and you can take that to the bank.

What he said. ;)

 

Metallic colors are a different matter.
