self healing clear buffing

That was one of my favorite cars when i was younger.

As everyone said, it would be better to stick to the traditional clear. I think the original paint of Lambos are PPG, but now i think it's K9.

i had some bad experience with ppg. im going to check out some different brands.

With the product or with the dealer? Dupont is also a nice option.

Paint did not stick to the primer? Hmmm..never experienced it before. Did you also sand the primer? It depends on the primer and the paint, not all primers should be sanded, if it does need sanding, it should at the most be 600grit. I would always follow the tech sheet to the dot. As for the hazing, could be the mixture of thinning agent and catalyst. I've known K9/PPG to be one of the best paints in the market.

ive allways sanded the primer with 400,600 then 800 grit never had a problem with the cheap line of ppg witch is omni just didnt last real long.
