The guyes at spike tv, was adding base to clear to BLEND a pannel. Not a full paint job. This is not how i was tought to blend, but it seem to work for them.

flowless bodywork, basecoat, HIGH solids clear coat 3-4 coats, cut and buff (I-Car way)....at this point u can put 3 -4 more coats of clear to give it alot more depth, but you risk your clear turning yellow. I have seen this done many time on show cars, but not for long term daily driveing.
Wrong episode. There is another where they paint 2 doors red like stated above.
