Polish - Clear coat or not?


Recommended Posts

I've seen a few threads, but not quite the full answer.... I've totally repainted ALL of my armour/helmet due to yellowing. The finish is pretty good, but a little dull. I've heard of a few recommendations NOT to use a clear coat, so I was just going to polish it up. I had the tiniest bit of Novus left over which worked really well, bringing up a nice shine.

 

Can I use regular automotive polish on NO-clear coated spray paint? As long as I use a very light polish?

Clear coat will just give some depth to the shine, really depends what paint you use, for my FOTK which has to be painted I used automotive paint which you can either clear coat or not, I do prefer the clear coat finish and easier to buff off scratches. If you don't clear coat the more you buff the paint the thinner it will get.
