What Is Hi Flowed Paint Job

[TrackSide]

What does it mean when people say it has a high flow clear coat?

How much difference is there?

Thanks

High gloss clear coat?

High flow would = runs wouldn't it?

News to me.

I think someone might be having a lend of you

it was explained to me as this:

After a week of drying new paint job, it is then sanded back with 2000 grit paper and another thin coat of clear applied for an extra shinny look...??

ok saying it like that i know what you mean it's normally called a flow coat, yes the clear will look better and deeper but i personally think P2000 is way to fine to clear over, think about it you buff over P2000 and i know of a few show cars that have done this and after a few years it's all flaking off, i would personally only reclear over P1200 or P800

nvsA4 is on the money

its called a flow coat

normally 1500 is rough enough to clear over with no issues
