Hey I just layed down about 4 spray cans of Tremclad Flat White paint on my jeep.
Its going from Dark Grey to White.
Its bleeding through a little, and that 4 cans of Tremclad was the first coat.
When it stops raining I am going to finish the job.
What is the best paint to spray for the finish coat?
Is Duplicolor any good?
Should I just keep spraying the Tremclad Flat White until it looks good?
Should I spray a clear coat, if its even available in spray can form?
Thanks

If you stay with the tremclad it will be easy to do touch up! They make clear coat in spray bomb form but it stinks something feirce. If there is some color that you really want you can go to an auto body supply shop and some of them can put a custom mix in a spray bomb for you the is one up in the ne by the airport can rember the name of it but its north of deerfoot mall. But the only thing about I have found with spray bomb paint is its very easy to scratch. cause its so thin, you will have to do many coats to make a reasonable thickness.

i used the duplicolor wheel paint from ukrainian tire. 2 coats primer, 2 coats black. its held up all winter and had 2 sets of tires mounted on them and the paint has held up great. i would have added clear coat just for the extra protection. but for an off road toy i would just keep the straight paint and touch up when needed.
