Bike Forums - Clear-coat question
Super critical to check the application window, most paints I've cleared over suggest applying the clear within 30 minutes of base coat application, OR you need to wait until 1-2 weeks of curing time before you can clear.

Bike Forums - Rattlecan clear coat

Clearcoat recommendations for Carbon? - Bike Forums
2007年7月25日 · So without that secret "sauce", my suggestion is to spray the first coat of clear. Wait 1/2 hour. By now the paint has tacked up and settled, so any pinholes should be visible. Spot spray the pinholes with another coat. Wait 1/2 hr. Repeat until the holes fill. Don't worry about the dusty circles at this point. Let dry for a day or two.
Bike Forums - Clear coating waterslide decals - what i did
2017年9月16日 · I had toyed with a 2 part auto clear coat, but the manufacturer advised against using a 2 part clear coat, if the paint wasn't 2 part. Also it was more expensive. So I masked around the decal, offset slightly to cover the edges. After applying 2 very light coats and not seeing any damage to the decal, I gave it a further 2 thick coats. So far ...

Bike Forums - Brakes on painted rims?
Paint, even powder coat and anodizing will wear off rather soon. You can hurry it along with scouring pads, steel wool, fine sand paper etc if you wish. For a rim brake setup to work well, the brake pads needs a wide enough brake track to run against. Your rims does not appear to have much of a brake track.

Mineral Spirits - Bike Forums
