The Secret to Perfect Clear Coat (Most DIYers Get This Wrong)
Everyone thinks the colour coat is the tricky bit. Nope. The colour is easy — the clear coat is where repairs are made or ruined. And most DIYers either put too much or not enough.
The clear coat should do three things: protect the colour, blend the surface, and deliver gloss. If it’s too thick, you’ll get ridges and weird shiny patches. Too little, and you get that dull “patch of shame.”
My method? Short, controlled passes. Don’t soak it. And don’t stand miles away either — 6–8 inches is perfect. Just like with colour, patience beats heavy spraying every time. Let it cure overnight, and you’re golden.
If you polish the next morning and the shine jumps back at you, you’ve nailed it. If your fix still looks dusty or matte, you rushed it.
Clear coat isn’t optional — it’s the difference between “nice job mate” and “did you repair that in the dark?”
