I have a custom color green which I pre mixed, The color closely resembles a light impala sage green with a extra dose of green metalic. THe brand is western one stage-hardner is added which gives it a wet look. My question is this I want to shoot some clear on it after I have some ghost flames shot in a green pearl with flake. Will this clear go on my truck and stay or do I need to change my paint to a two stage? ANd If I can shoot the clear....what steps do I need to take. Will the onestage paint be to shiny for the clear to stick? any help anyone can give me on the subject will be greatly appreciated.
thanks guys and gals,

I was told that it had to be sprayed within 24 HRs of the single stage. I waited 3 days with no problem.

I can always sand and repaint. The paint is cheap but should alst 4-5 years. I'll send photos once my girl is painted. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 428 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 428 | I sprayed clear over the one stage paint I shot on my '86 S10 and it looked great. The truck has been painted for about 4 years now, and the clear is starting to lift on the top of the cab. That is ok because I plan on repainting next spring anyway. Think I will go 2 stage next time around though. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 804 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 804 | Western is made by Sherwin Williams and does have a clear coat recommendation. Get the product data sheet and you will find the part number to order it and the info on use.
