Re: best steps for three foot deep paint job
Adding color to the clear will NOT add to the depth to paint in a baseclear system, if thats what they used, sorry they are idiots.
Now if you are using a single stage urethane paint a very common practice is to add some clear in the last coat of the SS paint. This does add some depth and addtional UV protection.
IMO, when doing a baseclear job, I would spray 3-4 coats of clear. Allow it to fully cure by sitting it outside baking in the sun. Then come back and block sand that clear with atleast 800 grit then spray another 3-4 coats of clear. Once thats dry do your normal sanding and buffing.
Doing that cuts and levels the urethane wave in the paint job, which is totally different then orange peel.
Doing a Single stage, I would spray at least 4 coats of SS paint, bake it in the sun after its dry of course. Then come back block with 800 and spray some clear...Eric
