Clear coat???? - Plating Powder Coating Buffing Anodizing

JeffL · #1 (**permalink**) 05-04-2007, 03:19 PM

when using colors that require a clear top coat, can the clear be put on maybe a day or so after the base coat is shot?

Sometimes, but the sooner the better, especially for Chrome like powders

you'll have the best results if you shoot when the part is still hot.

But be careful you don't overload it with clear. It's hard to tell how much your putting on when it is hot. But it's pretty cool to see it happen

What do you do if you shot say like 6 pieces?Do you do all in the base coat first, or do you clean out the gun & shot each piece in clear?

I have seperate guns. I always have a clear in 1 gun when doing 2 stage coats, & whatever is in the oven that needs a clear gets it all @ the same time.
