How to apply clearcoats when painting my car

Depends on the type and color of paint and temperature factors. Urethane metallic basecoats can require an hour or longer at normal temps for clearcoating. Silvers with be lighter if you fog them on and wait 4 hours to cure first before top coating. Lacquers can be clearcoated immediately after flash-off. Same with acrylic enamels.
Important factors are temperature, how much hardener used and thinner speed. Spray a small test piece for testing during your shoot. Usually min 4 hours recommended for wetsanding of urethane basecoats before clearcoat at normal shop temp if sanding is necessary for drip or bug repair. I use a drop or 2 of dish soap in a water spray bottle to prevent ball up on the 600 grit wetordry sandpaper. Don't press too hard, let the sandpaper do the work. Wash your hands often, silicas and plastic compounds are toxic.

My 2005 Hyundai Elantra looks disgusting. The clear paint is peeling off all over the back section of the car. This car is electric blue, and not yet 6 years old! What has caused this. Paint/panel guys...

Deterioration of the clearcoat can be caused from several things, not the least of which is the environment, such as acid rain or air polution. Usually it is caused from lack of maintenance, such as not using a protective wax or polish regularly. I have seen instances where too much polishing with a power buffer caused the clearcoat to wear away. Or it could just be a poor factory paint job. Lots of those around. Shop around for a good price on repaint. Where I am from, there is a paint and body business call MAACO that will repaint a car very cheaply. Their paint jobs don't last more than a couple of years, but they look really good when fresh. You may find someone who paints cars as a hobby, or second income. They usually do decent work for little profit. Check the want ads and local bulletin boards. You may be surprised at how affordable a new paint job can be.

1992 960 clearcoat

Google Chrome interrupted me and sent off an incomplete response,
As I was saying, 'Dealer added' clearcoat is doomed to failure according to an expert automotive painter I knew who did only high-end repainting on expensive vehicles.
He claimed that unless the clearcoat was applied over paint that had not yet cured, it would not bond to the paint underneath of it. It could behave like two unrelated layers and the clearcoat, not having a molecular bond with the paint below it, could shatter and separate for several reasons; temperature changes and (as it was in my case) exposure to salt air were two of these.   I doubt that Volvo will do anything for your car since cosmetics are considered secondary to mechanical failure and after 16 years, they may consider the complaint petty.

Hi,i recently used a DUPLI-COLOR CLEARCOAT TOUCH UP PAINT on 2 small areas where the clearcoat had peeled off when i replaced an emblem on my 1995 Deville.It is a bit noticeable when light shines at a certain angle--but more importantly, IT STOPS THE CLEARCOAT FROM PEELING OFF ANYMORE.

1992 Mitsubishi Pajero factory paint number? (metalic green)

Hi,

The factory paint code is normally inside the engine bay by the firewall. It would be a sticker type/nameplate for external color and would have three digit number such as G13 or WWP or A31. It could also be found at radiator support, driver door jamb, passenger or door jamb.

Alternately, there would be several variations of green:
  • A86 – Greenish Silver Metallic Clearcoat
  • F26 – Foresta Green Pearl Clearcoat
  • F50 – Bluish Green Pearl Metallic Clearcoat
  • F89 – Neptune Green Metallic Clearcoat
  • G13 – Timber Green Pearl Clearcoat
  • G31 – Hannover Green Metallic Clearcoat
  • G39 – Cancun Green
  • G73 – Turquoise Green Metallic Clearcoat
  • G84 – Kilder Green Pearl Clearcoat
  • G90 – Santiago Green Metallic Clearcoat
  • G98 – St. Amour Green Metallic Clearcoat
  • L53 – Canadian Green Metallic Clearcoat
  • L95 – Loire Green Pearl Clearcoat
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
