clear coat peeling issue
 
So, I recently shadowed my tail lights about 2 months ago, and applyed 2 coats of clear coat. The clear coat is already starting to peel off! :confused:

My car is exposed to direct sunlight quite a bit, but 2 months?? :shakes head:

I used krylon clear gloss I believe, any suggestions? thanks!

Krylon is cheap stuff. Refinish your clear layer with U-POL Clear#1.

U-POL ::

You'll get a professional and very durable UV resistant finish, granted it is applied correctly.

I actually have this stuff, I thought I had messed up when i first applied it because it didn't seem like it was going to look shiny. That is when i went back and got krylon gloss. I assumed it was probably because the krylon was just cheap.

I'll try something better, or just redo with the U-POL, thanks for feedback guys! :tup:

Spray a light coat first, then spray a medium wet coat. To top it off I spray one more light coat then let it dry. Once that's done I get a hose and wet sand with 2000 grit paper, polish and wax.
