i have done a DIY refurb on my alloys.
i've top coated them gold, do i need to key this surface with fine grade wet and dry before i apply the laquer? or do i just spray it on top of the top coat? i've read the tin and it gives no indication on the next stage. i'm baffled i don't want to ruin all the work i've done too.

 

Just put your clear coat straight on. Be a good idea to warm the area with a hairdryer or heat gun first in the current weather though

 

thanks Weso, i appreciate your response i'll do that tomorrow all the best.

 

scotch pad lightly then laquer, wet sand and polish.

 

I wouldnt do that, just clear coat strait over the base coat.
Dont scotch it!

 

What he said. Never any need to scotch base before clear coating.

 

i done mine 2 weeks ago (just laquer them) . what ever you do dont go near the fresh paint with wet/dry or a scotch pad.
