Fix

Imperfections 

or Uneven Coats

Not enough product or uneven wipe.

Lightly wet sand with 600-800 grit sandpaper, ensuring the surface is smooth and even—do not attempt to remove the clear coat. After sanding, wipe the surface with Wax & Grease Remover before applying the next coat.

Runs or Sags

Too much product applied at once.

Wait 24 hours, wet sand with 600-800 grit sandpaper to even out the surface—do not attempt to remove the clear coat. Wipe down with Wax & Grease Remover before reapplying.

Matte Clear Coat Too Shiny

Product not shaken well before mixing.

Shake the container thoroughly to ensure the matting agent is evenly distributed before use. The matting agent may have settled, resulting in a shinier finish. The sheen will reduce as the clear coat cures. For a quicker fix, lightly rub the surface with #0000 steel wool to create a matte finish.

Chemical Wrinkling

Applying to a single part paint.

Spray application recommended. Avoid wiping over these coatings.
