    Got some scratches and scuffs that I would like to take care of.

    I am not doubting my ability to prep and paint correctly but more if the paint looks okay after word.

    Can you blend it so its not too noticeable? How is the color match? How hard is the clear coat, does it harden like normal clear?

    Any before and after photos are much appreciated as well.

    it will definetly be noticeable. you are not matching variant chips to your car so you are not getting the best match possible like you would with a real urethane base/clear system. you cant adjust air pressure, fan pattern, etc like you can a spray gun. the clear is in aerosol form, which means it is very low solids. that means it is super thin, and the gloss will not be on par with a quality, high soilds urethane/polyurethane clear shot from a gun.

    Kind of expected that reply. I was either going to do this or just hold out until I could afford a legit HVLP/compressor setup.

    Looks like I'm doing the latter.
