High octane Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Prepare the body? I usually wait one day after the color coat, lightly run a tack rag over it, and then start mist coats of heated clear from a rattlecan with 20 minute intervals. after 2 mist coats I spray on one wet coat and let the paint "gas out" for a week or two before using polishing cloths to polish out the clear.

PappyD340 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I just use an old pot run me some hot tap water in it and set the can in the pot it won't take to long to warm it up.
