Clear Over Novus 1?

[roush16]

Hello all. Just got back into cars after a 15 year stretch of building mostly armor and monster models. I painted a Subaru WRX with Tamiya lacquer paint. After my coats of paint I used novus step 1 on the finish. I was wondering if I can now clear over the Novus. I dont think its silicone based so I dont think it should be a problem but want to be sure. The paint has been curing for almost a month now. Thanks for any help. Anthony.

Yes you can....Novus is one of the few w/o silicone.

Just to add, you can't put future over Novus either. It won't stick and just runs off.

Anthony,

Wash the body off with Top Job and warm water , rinse thoroughly , blow dry it with compressed air and then apply your clear . You would be taking an unnecessary chance by shooting clear over the Novus . Wash it off and go from there .

Donn is right on...I assumed that you would wash the body off before repainting...I use 2 drops of dawn in water to cut fingeroils.
