Ooops forgot about the UV thing.

One of camaros I painted looked pretty awesome in just PPG blue sealer. Would have been cool left that way.

this may be off topic but can you wet sand a car that doesn't have a clear coat? (to remove the orange peel)

Sure thing.

best bet is to wet sand and buff with a compound and then clear coat it to get rid of any kind of haze.
just dont smoke the "haze" when you are working

MOTORSPORTS and we can fulfill whatever joob you have.

I thought that semi gloss and eggshell paint were only for houses, but i could be wrong, and the u.v. thing we were talking about was if you were going to paint you car with a primer, that is when there are no u.v. protectors.
