Default candy red
after the red coat, do you need a clear? Or does the red act like one? I think the red does, but like to make sure...this will be over polished metal and xtream chrome.
thanks.

Correct, no need to clear. Just to clarify, are you putting xtreme chrome on a polished part and then the candy red or are the polished and xtreme chrome two different parts?

sorry about that, I have a couple parts to practice on, one is polished, the other will be xtream chrome...I also have super chrome, but that will be at a later date...
So I have TWO different parts and want to see what I like better.

I think all FigureLLC means by the comment is candys will always look better over a polished or real chrome surface than a chrome/silver powder.
