need a little assistance
the last couple days ive been workin on fixing the heavily oxidized painjob on my suburban and ive had a few setbacks
first attempt is i started wetsanding with 800 grit till the whole hood was perfectly smooth just about and i put down about 3 coats of the dupli color medium green metallic wich turned out pretty decent but still wasnt close the the factory clear coat finish so i put down a couple coats of the dupli color perfect match clear coat and it looked like shit the finish turned out a little glossier then previous but very uneven looked like total crap
so i sanded it down and started over ll and this time when i was at pepboys instead of paying 8bucks for the dupli color clear in that small can
i asked the guy if there was a clearcoat equivalent to that in the larger spray cans and he gave me this dupli color laquer clear coat and holy crap with that stuff it turned to out even worse not to mention it was a freakin pain to get all that stuff off
so now i sanded the whole thing down before i start painting again
what do you guys recomend using for clear coat
and do they sell
