    Great video, but.. Most every paint, whether from a rattle can or from a spray gun recommends that you shouldn't apply any type of buffing compound or wax for the first 21 days after painting. This is because the paint will continue to cure and gas off during that time. If you apply buffing compound or wax before the paint has time to fully cure.. solvents will be trapped in the paint and the paint will remain soft.

    Good job and great video! I like to not let the paint dry completely before applying the clear. Like this the clear bonds with the paint and you have less chances for peeling and chipping in time. Also a 2K clear is nice for rims as it is very very durable.

      @asteriosanagnostou3243 5 лет назад

      Loved the vid, but I actually had a problem with this. I let the paint dry and the clear sort of crinkled on me because it had no malleable surface to bond with.

      @@asteriosanagnostou3243 depends what clear you have on there and how many layers and how bad it its. Minor imperfections you could wet sand out with a fine grid and then polish the surfaces. If that is not an option or its too messed-up then youd be better off redoing that wheel.

    Hi, Nice simple video using cost effective paint and clear coat combination. I like that you used a painter's drop plastic sheet all around instead of using cards. Also liked the matte finish paint on your car. Do you mind telling us what brand paint you used on the car body? Does it have a matte clear coat? I'd like to repaint my old car matte black instead of restoring the glossy version. Thanks.
