Can I mix clearcoat into the paint?
Yes, in fact, this is an old trick that a lot of single-stage painters use to save time and avoid shooting a separate clearcoat once the color has finished setting up. Adding clear into the final coat or two of color will significantly increase the gloss and provide increased durability. Doing so also makes color sanding of metallics easier. Any amount of Eastwood’s 2:1 European Clear may be mixed into the Single-Stage Paint, as they are completely compatible. Just make sure to mix both the paint and the clear with their own activators, at the correct mix ratios, before blending the two systems together.
