After a bomb cam job, do people put a top coat on?
After doing a few coats of rattle can, do people do a rattle can top coat. Some sort of sealant?

Re: After a bomb cam job, do people put a top coat on?
So we did it, sanded with 320, degreased after (wipe on and wipe off different towels) adhesion promoter (rattle can).
So it’s drying now, I do feel some slight parts that are orange peel feeling, and some that are as smooth as butter. Should we do some wet sanding? If so what is the process for that? I do want to get a clear coat on this at some point, that seems like I should wait for the paint to cure a few days before doing my clear coat. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: After a bomb cam job, do people put a top coat on?
I did a friends cart earlier this year. I rattle canned the cart after primer (because it was cheaper than buying the paint from a paint shop) For the record it was lacquer based primer, then lacquer color then I used a gun to shoot lacquer clear (duplicolor paint shop system) I did NOT colorsand the base coat. I shot 6 good coats of clear on and let it cure up about 4-5 days then wet sanded with 2500 grit. Don't go crazy hard with that. Then I hand rubbed a section at a time with rubbing compound then finished with polishing compound also by hand. (machine buffing can be tricky if you're not careful) The reason I put 6 coats of clear was because I knew I was going to sand thru a coat or two.. As a side note... A VERY important side note.... Use like paint types Enamel with enamel Laquer with lacquer... You CAN go over lacquer with enamel but DON'T use lacquer over enamel... Laquer is chemically "hotter" and eats the enamel...

Thanks, so I’m this case the wife and I are thinking we throw a few coats of clear on it and wet sand it down if it’s orange peel like, some
Running compound and polishing after the coats. We plan on getting a paint job down the road, but for now just wanted to get it set up for ourselves. What a good clear rattle can? Krylon colormaxx is what we used for the cart. |

I have never used, but hear good things about 2K clear? 2K meaning there are 2 parts in the can like epoxy and you push a button on the bottom to release the active ingredients and shake then spray. Lots of Youtube videos of people painting cars and other things.
