How To Paint Your Own Car

Finishing Touches

Always remember to let the product dry in between applications for a professional finish. Clear coat adds a protective layer to the paint. It must be maintained by washing the surface and waxing the vehicle regularly; This helps to keep the coat from peeling and cracking.
