I'm just about to start spraying now . Giving it one light top coat . a guy at the paint shop said mix red and clear together and thin it down heaps like 2:1 . Then clear coat it
See how I go

yeah that paint mixture for acrylic is right.2pac is 50/50.
dont buff it for about a week need to dry 100% or you'll cut straight back into the under coat again.if you used 2pac you wouldnt of had to buff it.comes up trick

You might want to leave it even longer.
Paint can take up to 60 days to set completely and become resistant to damage.

i think i may need to buff it , i have blush ? its where its to humid and moisture gets under the clear coat and makes it white, milky ,
i was going so good then as soon as it hit lunch time and went to do a 2nd clear coat it went down hill. im hoping a heavy cut compound and buffer will take it off cos its hard sanding clear, sand paper rips through colour , ah well both skirts are painted and so are door pods, just have to remove the milky parts, touch up one skirt where i rubbed through clear and colour to sand off milky part, then clear everything and buff a week later
