Double clear coat option new SPF roller

Clear coats are designed to be 2.5 mills thick with about .5 mill variance after sanding and buffing- more is not better and can lead to lots of problems.. You would never be able to tell the difference even side by side. Save your money. Maybe they sand the first two coats smooth and put two more on to make the stripes smooth?

Nope. They always spray the stripes first. Then they spray the basic car color. This way there is no edge at the stripes.

Welll....if you run your hand on the paint and stripe below the oil cooler you might notice the stripe standing proud of the other paint layers....quality control must have missed that on my car....and I also have a custom color on mine...stripes are perfect everywhere else...
