So I buy this cheap Tractor Supply enamel of my favorite flavor. After I seal the primer, by the way the body is flawless by this time, I spray the paint. Would a clear coat over the enamel give it a little more gloss, depth, and protection? Does this paint process sound like a good idea. Im far from paint, but was trying to get a plan together.

I found that if you mix the clear with the enamel paint before you paint and spray it together it will bring out the gloss much better. It also let's you chance trash once not twice cause buffing will be a pain.

I painted my firewall and cab with enamel from tractor supply.I shot clear over it and it came out pretty good.Its a not a high dollar paint job but its nice.

Look up "equipment enamel" in a search in the paint and body forum and you will find a thread started by me. big blue 72 has already done it. I pm'ed him for more info but havent got any yet. But like I said he has done it so pm him for more info. Hope this helps. Good luck.
