Hello Everyone, this is my first post here but I am an experienced painter and restore muscle cars for a living. My question relates to intercoat clear. I have a 70 Duster in my shop that was painted close to 15 years ago and it got some damage when a building collapsed on it. I have repaired the dents on the quarters and roof and have them in primer all feathered out and ready to blend. This is a base clear paint job but I have no idea what brand was used.
This is a pretty heavily metallic color (Mopar Hemi Orange), and I know about using the intercoat clear for a wet bed on the blend edges. I will be clear coating the whole car as the blend areas are fairly large (and the old clear had a LOT of trash I sanded out).
My question is would it be a good idea to go ahead and use the intercoat clear on the whole car to kind of "lock in" the old clear that I scuffed with 600 before I clear or should I just do the blends normally and then clear the car.
Also, I am using PPG deltron color and Matrix MS 42 clear.
Thanks in advance for any help, Steve
