cobrAA Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I bought a Dupli-Color Caliper Kit in RED and I was wondering if I should use a clear coat after the job? Anyone know?

Mr GTS4 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 no don't use a clear coat.. i found a video on youtube about the paint and the guys says that it has a shine by itself.. i have recently used the red on mine, i'll get a pic soon for you.. i think a couple of other guys on here have used it too.. one guy used red as the base and then used gold over the top and left Nissan writing red, looked really good.

cobrAA Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) no don't use a clear coat.. i found a video on youtube about the paint and the guys says that it has a shine by itself.. i have recently used the red on mine, i'll get a pic soon for you.. i think a couple of other guys on here have used it too..one guy used red as the base and then used gold over the top and left Nissan writing red, looked really good. Cheers Curt Actually, the idea to put a clear coat on it was more to protect the paint and make it easier to wash it. I did the left side of my car and it look pretty good and shinny. But the problem is that I use foam to apply the paint( because I found, after applying one coat, that the brush didn't work really well) so I can't put grease on my nissan logo. So Is it possible to sand it back to metal ?? I'm asking because I just read on page 5 ( I think or 4) that it take way too much time to sand it back to metal...

TALBO Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 For those of you who used Duplicolour Metacast on your calipers, how long did you let the paint cure for before sanding back the 'NISSAN'?
