Hi Guys,

I've never use auto clearcoat and have a few questions. I'll be painting my Super Reaper with Createx Auto Air water based acrylic paints and clearcoating with Dupont Chromaclear 8500s high solids clear coat. The colour selection with the Auto Air is excellent with pearls, irradescents, and chameleons so I hope this technique works.

The instructions on the clearcoat say to mix 8-2-1 which means that it's only reduced 9%. In searching this forum for answers to this question I've seen recommendations to reduce 100 to 250 % !!!
Thats 10 to 25 times as much reducer as the can says.

So guys, any comments ?


One more thing !

Do any of you guys clearcoat between colour coats to prevent the tape from lifting the base colour. I was thinking of painting on the Createx and giving a light coat of spray bomb clear only where I'm going to mask and so on....
