Question:	Dry time between coats? Can it be lite sanded and buffed to mirror quality? Will it work for final of a painted guitar
Answer:	Yes on sanding. Wet sanding is best.and mirror quality is up to the painter and sander.it is very good tough paint from a can.

Answer:	I’m not sure but I’d say no.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this paint match a 1999 civic hatchback oem silver
Answer:	The only way to be 100% sure is look up the paint code on the driver's side door jamb, as in: http://www.automotivetouchup.com/paint-codes/honda.htm
Question:	How do you select the paint color to match your vehicle
Answer:	Get the paint code from the car VIN tag (usually under the hood or inside driver door, and go to the Duplicolor website and look up by application.
Question:	clover
Answer:	I ordered 3 cans of paint, two of them were so old that no matter how long you shook them, the paint came out in globs & they were useless. I tried to RMA the paint, but Amazon told me that I couldn't ship them back because they're flamable, but I couldn't have a refund unless I returned the product. I've had good success with dupli-color before when buying it from the Auto Parts store, but I would recommend getting it locally rather than on Amazon.
Question:	I have a scratch on my bumper will i be able to just do the area with all the products or will i have to do the entire bumper to get it to blend
Answer:	You should not have to paint the entire bumper. First, prep the area where the scratch is. Clean the entire bumper, then depending on the depth of the scratch, you may want to lightly sand and area surrounding the scratch until all is smooth. Then wipe lightly with laquer thinner. Mask off the bumper to isolate it from the car. Get Dupli-color primer and apply a few light coats. Let them dry well before applying more. This will build up the area around the scratch that you had sanded. Let the primer dry overnight. Next, get some 400 and 600 grit sandpaper (wet type) and with a wet piece of 400, sand lightly the entire primed area. Keep dipping the paper in water and don't use fingertips! Clean area with wet cloth and repeat process with 600grit wet paper and you can then sand some of the areas surrounding the primer (scuff the painted surfaces around the repair) Clean it up with damp clothes and let dry. Apply the paint in light coats in a side to side motion. Don't try to cover the primer too fast. Light coats work best and allow dry time in between coats. Eventually the primer will be covered and some of the new paint will then overlap the original paint on bumper (this is part of the blending process) Once all is covered and you cannot see the primer under the paint, let it dry overnight.Next day, get some 1000 grit wet paper and sand the entire repair area lightly. This will help smooth out the new paint. Dont sand too hard so as to make the primer exposed. Sand beyond the new paint so as to scuff up the old untouched paint on the bumper. You are getting the surrounding area ready for the clear cloat blend.Wipe with clean wet cloth and when thoroughly dry you can apply the dupli color clear coat using the same light coat, overlap method. Now you will want to go beyond the repair area bringing the clear coat into the original painted surfaces by a few inches all around. Let the clear coat dry in between coats. Once clear is applyed, let it dry overnight. Next day you can wet sand the entire repair area with 1000 wet paper. Remember, no finger tips. Use your palm or get a sanding block but go lightly. Once you have finished sanding, wipe clean with wet cloth and then polish with Light polishing compound. You can do this by hand if you dont have a buffer. It may sound complicated, but that's a process that will give you the best results outside of going to a body shop. Another consideration, if the scratch is small, get a bottle of duplicolor touch up. It has the brush built in and you can possibly just carefully use the brush and paint to fill in the scratch. I hope this helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used with duplicolor
Answer:	Yes but don't use duplicolor. Call around local auto paint stores and get real auto paint put into aerosol cans. Transtar is a decent one who will do this and it's better quality. My personal opinion.
Question:	can i use this with high gloss plastidip on a chrome grille
Answer:	Not sure about chrome. I would coat the chrome grill with adhesion spray first then plastidip. Apply this Spray Max in the end but make sure the adhesion and the plastidip to stick firmly first.
Question:	How long after applying this can I colorsand and polish
Answer:	Same as any other clear. Obviously depends on air temp/humidity etc. Also, the longer it dries, the harder it is, so hard to cut
Question:	So, i’m an artist and i resin my paintings. is this technically a resin/epoxy in a spray can? could i possibly use this on my paintings
Answer:	Yes it works well. I also do paintings (abstract) and used 2 part resin. The spray Max is just as good and durable. The draw back is, is once you puncture the internal can inside the main can, you only have about 48 hours to use. So you have to make sure you have a few paintings ready to go and coat them all at the same time. Also, purchase a respirator. Harbor freight has them for Les than $20. You get quite a few uses from them, then just throw away and purchase a new one. The vapors in the 2 part spray Max are not good to be inhaling. Outside is fine, but in a enclosed area is not good unless you wear a respirator.

User questions & answers

Question:	How would this stuff work for wood finishing
Answer:	It should be fine. It's a catalyzed material, so it pretty much works on everything. You have to spray subsequent coats while the first coat is still tacky.
Question:	Is this stuff Urathane? Epoxy or Enamel
Answer:	It's a 2k urethane clearcoat. It is compatible with enamels so long you apply it within 1 hour of the enamel top coat or after it has completely cured which can take weeks/months. If you clear coat on top of enamel that hasn't fully cured, it will wrinkle. I've always sprayed 2k urethane clear coat within 30-40 minutes after applying the last top coat. Never had an issue with wrinkling.
Question:	Is there a time limit the moment you press the tab in the bottom
Answer:	After your first coat, put the can in the freezer which can extend the working life by several days. Allow the can to warm up to room temperature before spraying the next coat. One user here was able to extend the working life of a can up to about a month by doing this. Otherwise at 68-degrees, the mfr says the can will go stale after 48hrs and no longer work properly.
Question:	Has anyone used this over Duplicolor Perfect Match paint
Answer:	Everything that people said on here is not wrong but it is a bit not needed. The trick to avoid all the steps and days of dry time is if you are going to use a rattle can for your base coat you need to use a FLAT color!! Not semi gloss not satin but flat. Once you clear it then it will be supper glossy but the reason everyone has so much trouble is gloss paint is almost like a plastic coating. A solid sheet to where flat is like a sponge if you were to look at it super up close. The gloss will actually try and repel the clear where flat will soak it in. Spray your color one tack coat, just a mist basiclly. Let dry 15 min do another med wet coat, flash 15 minutes again then another med wet coat and let sit about 30 minutes then go over it with the clear but just a very light tack coat. Let that sit 20 minutes then do med wet over that, 20 minutes, then do your wet coat to get your finsh you need and dont worry about dust or runs because you can cut and buff this clear and get rid of all that once it sets up. Avoid that if you can of course but not a big deal if it happens. The dirt or runs in the clear i mean. Base coat for automotive use is flat before you top coat it so ya. I have done this method more times then i can count and it works awesome!!

User questions & answers

Question:	Painted alloy wheels with duplicolor wheel coating (hwp101 silver), is this clear coat compatible, any special application instructions
Answer:	I would recommend using duplicolor # hwp103 for wheel clear because of high heat temperature
Question:	Can this product be applied over existing clear coat with out sanding. If so what do I clean surface clear coat with before applying
Answer:	If using over existing clear, you MUST wet SSN the existing clear with 800-1000 grit. These very fine scratches will be filled with the new clear coat - failure to sand will result in failure and eventual peeling of the clear coat - the new clear needs a surface to bite into.
Question:	can i use it my my plastic headlights, and if so, do i need an adhesion promotor
Answer:	I sanded with 1000 grit and the clear coat filled the lines in very well. I had previously used Meguires headlight clearcoat and sanded with 2500, but the lines were still visible after 2 coats - it also turned yellow and started to peel after 4 months. I sanded all the Meguires off prior to using the 2k to avoid any lifting problems. They looked great after 2 coats. Beware the overspray! I should have covered my whole car with a drop cloth.
Question:	What type of clearcoat is this? Acrylic/Enamel/Laquer
Answer:	Acrylic. Word of caution. Make sure that you apply a very light coat at first, followed by a second coat a little heavier, followed by an EVEN third wet coat. If you end up with a run DO NOT TRY TO FIX IT UNTIL THE CLEAR COAT IS COMPLETELY DRY!! Then use a new single edge razor blade to scrape any runs. If you have a speck of dust or a bug, gently remove then using a clean cotton swab, dab a drop of clear coat over the "hole" and let it merge into the void. Also, once you puncture the internal can, you only have about 2 hours before the product solidifies in the can.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this clear resistant to gasoline if it is spilled on it
Answer:	No I spilled some on my tank and it yellowed an peeled
Question:	Hi, can this product be used on Plastic Headlights? Thanks
Answer:	It kind of depends on what you're doing with the headlights. As stated here if you're doing a standard restoration kit to remove the normal yellowing in the headlight's plastic lens, those kits do not come with a process to clear coat afterwards. In general terms though, if you want to clear coat the lens you're just adding clear protective layers to the lens and have the added benefit that if you then get a scratch you simply have to hit it again with some sandpaper and apply a new coat to "remove" the scratch. If you use a fine grit sandpaper (800 - 1200) to scuff the lens in order to hold the clear coat you'll be fine and would never use any type of primer in this instance. I have to say I have not used this on headlights but I "smoked" my tail lights with VTH Nightshades and then clear coated over that with this and it turned out great. I also have to say though that I only got a little over a year out of it before the clear coat started to yellow and the Nightshades started to lighten up so just using a headlight restoration kit may keep the yellow off longer, I've just never used one to know for sure.
Question:	I used a dupli-color clearcoat with da1692 code. but can looked different and it said "clearcoat". is this the same clearcoat or is it different
Answer:	Yes this is clear coat and this clear coat is a paint which gives glows 'shine' to the existing paint surface. (I have bought one of these and tried to use it on my car's bumper and it really messed up) I recommend to try on any old paint surface before using on main body
Question:	Would i be able to apply this over my hood after i paint it
Answer:	That is the purpose but I would not recommend it. It wants a week between coats or it will orange peel. Try a lacquer instead. You can build up coats to match the gloss level.

Question:	How many can would I need to seal a paint job on a 99 4runner
Answer:	At least 12
Question:	Would this spray work over bedliner
Answer:	It would but you would need a few cans and only if plastic bedliner i wouldn't recommend. I'm sure you could find the right type for it . Other wise I'd spay with gun in booth
Question:	Is this enough clear coat to coat a pickup truck hood
Answer:	You can get one coat not sure about 2 since there is no mention of the size of pickup truck. You will also need to consider if you are painting indoors or outdoors. If you paint outdoors and there is any kind of wind you may not have enough to do one coat since most of the spray will be gone with the wind. Hope this helps.
Question:	Is it arcrilic enamil
Answer:	It has a harder that you activate on the bottom before you spray . Then you have 48 hrs to use after that its no good .

Question:	Can you use it over rustoleum base coat
Answer:	You can. I sprayed the clear coat immediately after spraying the rustoleum base and it turned out great.
Question:	Does this product provide any UV protection
Answer:	Yes this is a high quality clear with UV Protection
Question:	does this paint react to gasoline
Answer:	My experience after cured will stand up to lacquer thinner- rag clean up. (not soaking in it) Just did a gas tank area on a trike and haven’t had a reaction yet... Be sensible
Question:	How long do you have to use a mixed can? How soon after a coat can you sand that coat? Or, is it best to repeat coats while still a bit wet? 20 min
Answer:	This is a 2=part spray paint that requires activation of the product in order to use it. Shelf life lis like any other spray paint can. Once you activate the product, then you have about 2-5 days of before the the spray paint hardens in the can. Results depend on temperature, humidity, etc. Takes about 15min for the clear coat to flash, then you can recoat if necessary . I would wait 24hrs before sanding the coat. Just like any urethan paint, a proper cure time is necessary to achieve best results.

Question:	One review says it must be "baked". how long at what temp? thank you
Answer:	Warm or hot weather temperature during the daylight is fine. Not recommended in the cold / rainy weather day, the moisture in the air will settle on the pure metal & paint contact. Bake is the professional automotive body painters, to get rid of moisture in the metal's pour, better metal & paint contact. Best judgement, or YouTube it. Be safe, have fun.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many cans is needed to fully clearcoat an entire rear bumper
Answer:	it depends how big is the bumper and how many coats would you do but 2 cans should be plenty
Question:	Is it only good for 48 hours after you pop the bottom? Of you dont pop the bottom(activate it)? how long is the shelf life if you dont activate it
Answer:	Correct. It's only good up to 48 hours once mixed and likely less. There isn't really that much in each can though so using it all in 1 day was never a problem for me. If anything I found 1 can was never enough. Now I buy a few cans at a time.
Question:	Could this spray be used to protect a deep scratch on a car? I’m trying to find a product that will prevent rust and protect the car through winter
Answer:	Likely, you are better off filling the scratch in with some filler/bondo if its really thick, sanding to make everything even, spraying it with primer/urethane paint, and then clearing it with 2K clear..
Question:	How many cans for the whole car
Answer:	Hypothesis 30 cans. You have to think of more than one coat, possibly two, but three is better. You also have to compensate for the blending, there will be areas that seem to slightly differ and will need to be blended, smoothed out. Every time the can empty's out, it will cause variances which will need attention to blend. Now, If you just wish you car too look better and don't need a professional look, you can probably go with about 20 cans. I'm basing my answer on the coats i have used on my cars, the hood on one, the trunk on the other and the rail above the driver side window from hood to trunk. One thing that has happened to my cars on the trunk it rained and I had to sand it all off and start again. on the rail, It didn't hold too well and in less than a year started to peel. I did do two coats on the cars. Hopefully this information has helped.

User questions & answers

Question:	Perhaps less glaring to use matte on an older car? will it (after preparation) stick to the paint-type of a 2004 nissan sentra? thanks
Answer:	I don't see why it wouldn't. People put more than one coat of clearcoat often to provide more protection to their paint. But, the suface needs to be clean and free of wax or any oils from your hands. This can cause a number of different flaws in the clearcoat. Some wet sanding may be needed also. But It's most important to make sure it's clean, try denatured alcohol or maybe acetone for cleaning.
Question:	Would this create a strong, durable seal for press-on lettering which is on anodized aluminum? (trying to label video monitor buttons

Answer:	No, clear coat or paint must have something to "bite" into, so it must be sanded and a direct to metal primer applied before the clear coat.
Question:	Can I use this product as a top coat for cabinets (maple cabinet with light stain
Answer:	Your cabinets are likely installed in a hight humidity environment (ie. Kitchen) Wood tends to shrink and expand, which requires a flexible top coat to prevent surface cracking. This is a very durable clear coat. It is resistant to gasoline and many other solvents. It is also very hard. I don’t think that it would do well on wood, but for automotive applications it is absolutely superb. I hope this helps.
Question:	Can i use this on a brushed aluminum car wheel after i prep it? and can i use it on a polished aluminum car wheel after i prep it
Answer:	Think of this as commercial auto paint in a can. It is a two part chemical set. Look up on youtube what auto clear coats can do. I would say yes. As long it is not epoxy as the sun breaks it down to powder. This is not epoxy. Good luck. I used it as a top coat on aluminum over metallic spray paint that was not a two part and therefore soft and easy to scratch. The clear coat made it much stronger and was happy not to have to pull out the big spray equipment to get it done. You might need two cans if you are planning to build it up a bit. One can just might make it. You will have a lot of masking unless the rims are naked.
