eizzle Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Hey, that's the same clear I use. I just threw away about a 1/3 of a bottle of hardner cause it flashed off in what I thought was a sealed can... I guess not!

eizzle Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 That sure is pretty! Did you thin your clear at all? I've found it goes on a lot smoother if I thin it down a little with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePopsicle Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 no, just the standard 4:1 mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaroz06 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 New guy here, nice build! What does this thin/clean up with rubbing alcohol? I thought I saw rubbing alcohol mentioned. Woohoo! I finally got my clear coat! Lets finish this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eizzle Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) I use 91% isopropyl alcohol to thin my clear coat. I've got the same brand and type as blue Popsicle. I've also used it to strip urethanes, works great. Edited November 9, 2012 by eizzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluePopsicle Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Progress update: I got the car sanded, polished and waxed and IMO, it looked better before doing it. I put BMF everywhere it needed it and painted the engine compartment. Now it's time to start putting some stuff together.... Thanks for looking.
