when you say clear can be mixed up does that mean you can shoot the color and clear at one time rather than doing it in two steps, please explain. thanks

I beg to differ. A long ways back I mixed a glossy black and a glossy red and got a glossy burgundy. I even added more glossy black and came up with a dark red or as I call it CHOCOLATE!
My friend mixed a translucent copper and dark silver texture and came out with a hint of copper and silver beauty.
This he did to his motorcycle headlight cover:

This could be a good post to come up with something new, new type of colors and post the results. I am going to try mixing black onyx and gloss black to see what I come up with . Also going to mix up some metalic silver and the candy blue top coat. I also may try mixing ribbon blue with the blue candy top coat. Very interesting. I will let you know how it all works. I can now see I may have to get myself a digital camera to post some pics, later guys
