I recenty bought a pcl flat clear to shoot my edsel with , but the look i want is more of a 60% than a flat , the clear says no more than 2 coats or it will start to gloss , wich i kinda want , but i have concerns that it may start to fog up , has anybody here attempted 3 or more coats of pcl flat clear ???
If you try and gloss it up at all it will zebra on you giving you stripes of a glossy look and stripes of flat. PCL now makes a satin urethane (#2596 and 2597)I would trade in your flat for the satin it lays down nice and drys to a consistent sheen.
PCL is a provider of compliant products for the automotive refinishing industry. PCL offers a variety of products such as Surface Cleaners, Pre-Treatment Coatings, Primer Surfacers, Primer Sealers, Single Stage Topcoats, Aerosols and Solvents they are located in California and make paint the won't kill the movie stars and tree huggers.
Hey, PCL stands for Pacific Coast Lacquer, a local paint & solvent company that packages coatings and solvents for the industrial/aero/automotive refinish trade. Some of their automotive paint products offer good value for the money, but I wouldn't bet the farm on muitl coats of a production clear holding up for long periods in the California sun " Life ain't no Disney movie "
