    Blackfire Crystal Coat Paint Coating questions

    Yeah, I am disappointed as well. Unfortunately this was my first ever attempt with coatings so now I am afraid to try another one. I was hoping that with cooler application temps I would have better results but from what I have read here that won't help so I only have applied it to a hood. I...

    Blackfire Crystal Coat Paint Coating questions

    Mike, everything I read says that it should be applied sparingly. I did notice quickly that just applying a drop to the applicator simply would not work for me at all. I had to use a bit more in order to get it on the panel at all. If I would put just a drop the applicator would basically just...

    Not what I was hoping to hear :( I was hoping that it would be better to apply with cooler temps. Sounds like I should not get my hopes up when I try it in the air conditioned garage.

    Sealant VS Coating VS ??...what products have MAXIMUM clear coat protection from sun?

    Thanks very much for the replies trekkeruss & hdez. I will look closer at the coatings because if I can get uv protection and long lasting that would be perfect. I was actually thinking about trying CQUK + Reload so thanks for the tips.

I know there are benefits from coatings, especially that they last longer...

    Finally had a go at it

    My understanding is that the firmer pads are more aggressive (more cutting). It allows you to fine tune what ever step you are working on. For example you can use a compound on a softer pad and if you are not getting the results you are after you can use the same compound with a firmer more...

    Blackfire Crystal Coat Paint Coating questions

    Thanks for the replies. Bus_Driver, when you do a 12" x 12" area at a time I assume you have to over lap a little. When you start the next 12" x 12" area how does the edges of the previous area respond to fresh coating going over the dry parts? Any issues when you overlap? I was planning to do...
