You don't really want to get it dirty though so make sure it's clean when you go to put the clear coat on it. I did a silver roof job on an old celica of mine(where I learnt the above advice) which I then sold to a friend and I never put a clear coat on it. It just looks like a flat silver/gray. It's been ok for 2 years now without a clear coat on top and it was a bare metal strip, rust converter, primer, undercoat top coat. Only has about 2 layers of topcoat too but you'll want around 6 on a proper job. Ask a trustworthy sprayer how many coats of each layer you want. You want one coat of metal primer, minimal spray putty because that's what causes crows feet, then some undercoat, some top coat and not too much clear because clear is the other thing that starts cracking if it's too thick. The place you get your paint should be able to tell you how to spray it. Probably best to buy everything from the same shop, then if it fucks up you go back and kill them all [Updated on: Thu, 18 September 2003 13:35] [Report message to a moderator]
