How to Apply Automotive Clear Coat Best?

[CorbinMarie]

The method for applying automotive clear coat is as follows: 1. Choose the appropriate paint. If the paint applied to the surface runs, this phenomenon is technically called 'sagging.' The type of paint least prone to sagging is nitrocellulose lacquer, because the nitrocellulose thinner evaporates most easily. When the paint is sprayed from the nozzle to the surface, within this very short distance, 30% to 70% of the thinner in the paint will evaporate. Upon reaching the surface, it continues to evaporate rapidly, causing the paint to thicken; 2. The spray gun should have good atomization, the clear coat ratio should be appropriate, the booth temperature should be suitable, and the gun movement should be even; 3. The next spray should overlap the previous one by 30%, with the junction areas sprayed first. When spraying the surface, lift the gun at the junction and spray across.
