mr. megane ill keep it in mind^ iminaquagmire, shops around here arent that great with healping ppl out. small town

so im wondering whats the diff...it may sound silly to ask but how is it diff?

when he is done there will be smears of dirt on the windows ^^

yes ken, and u know practice will make perfect. if u r not ready to mess things up then why even think about doing it. thanks guys, junkyard was closed lol^ i totally forgot. one question though, i know wiping on a tacky surface for a 2nd coat wont work and probably just smear the clear more but...

ok i will get to that, junkyard here i come^. blackthorn thank you so much man. u had no criticism and that was cool of you. i will post pics and steps i took later this weekend.

blackthorn u r the MAN. yes i use ppg shopline. do u know anything about it? if u dont ill ask the local auto store i got it from. i do have a sheet of the clear saying how long between coats and all the spec of the clear. and yes what do u think i should pract on thought? something that will...

no need to sand headlights if u r buff them unless thay are super oxidized like yellow yellow. and well u could add some kind of sealer but polishing the headlights already is the protection layer all u r doing is helping it a little.if u are actually wanting to spend the money on it, buff them...

yes i love a challenge^, and yes i think eveyrone should know that headlights should be sanded b4 adding clear, but opticoat needs to be polished since it doesnt hide the imperfections of the paint.so black, would you recommend adding some reducer to my mix to give it some smoothness when...

ok so your point is opticoat is superior than clear. thats true but its only been in the market for like 2 years i believe. also clear coat CAN be applied by hand and not sprayed if i understood ur last post. (if not let me know^). every clear will fail down the road thats why u wax ur car if im...

ok, blackthorn im trying to put on headlights. thanks for sharing here too. so what do u think?

thanks guys, but what if i use a slow drying activator and add some reducer? wont it be smooth enough to use a blue shop towel like the spar urethane method?

ok so i want to know one thing. opticoat is a paint sealer hard coat im guessing, idk much about it. BUT it can be wiped on. can i do the same wih a reg auto clear? why and why not? Feed back please

so how come this opticoat can be wiped on and reg auto clear cant?!?! whats the diff lol. cant u just add extra UV like chemical to ur clear and make it last longer? also diff clear like poly urethane are far better than reg urethane.

No problem man

twister here check this out man! i think got something u might interest in http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/new-car-care-products/45770-blackfire-crystal-seal-11-minute-paint-sealant.html

yes twister, i remember when i first started researching and reading all these posts. no kidding ive read so many posts in so many diff forums everytime i type the same stuff on google all links are purple^^ so heres how you stop oxidation: short term: kits,buffing long term: hard coat (clear...

twister any kind of sealer u find on auto stores. thats the only thing i know of. if its easier buy a clear bra, they work pretty good i heard but other than that buff buff anf buff to keep it clear unless ur going w a hard coat.

wow im happy to hear the feedback. yes its clear so its suppose to keep it from yellowing for a long time. jsmooth, since im about to be 18 and doing this as a hobby for some cash im happy knowing i can easily make 60 for the job. hopefully when the word gets around of what i do and i get more...

:props:looks so so clean. i would eat off it, no worries.

hey guys, its finally time for me to start my part time hobby i've been waiting on. soon ill have my setup completed and ready to start restoring those old yellow headlights. im wondering how much should i ask for the job. it will take me around 1 hour 30 min to finish a car. this is a guess...
