I used duplicolor as well, but I didn't wetsand between every coat. It's not perfectly even, or as glossy as i'd like, but I haven't buffed them yet. Shaolin, how did you red them? It looks perfectly even-Mike-MN <br />'96 SC2 <br />Check out my website!<br />[img width=350 height=40]http://www.sixthsphere.com/storage/976/stc_banners-oakdog8.jpg[/img]

I also used the Duplicolor clear without wet sanding between coats. I just sprayed a few light coats and then sprayed a final heavy coat and they came out pretty good.

That blue is so nice on that car, and it looks even better in person.
I also went the duplicolor route with some minor prep and they came out nicely.
The bodyshop would certainly be the best bet but if you are patient with the can, it can look almost as good.

you can use dupicolor and have a good turnout. I have a perfect example too. normally you'll get an orange peel texture to a clear coat. especially bad with rattle can but it can be remedied with color sanding. thats where you take a high grit sandpaper like 1500-2000. 1000 if you have really bad orange peel and have plenty of clear to work with. then you buff it and polish it out.
Here is a guitar hero controller I was working on. same clear coat just the first picture is before the color sanding and polishing.

Just take it to a body shop. They will do the best job, and will probably charge you about how much you would spend in materials.Got a new baby <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /> - 2006 Ion Redline Stage 2<br /><br />Old baby :<br />--My ride : http://www.cardomain.com/ride/405827

I just scuffed them up and cleaned them real good. We then sprayed an adhesion promoter on them and then primered and sanded them smooth before painting them.Jeff 1999 Saturn SL2
