Default Question About Liquid Clearcoat.....

I will be attempting to fix a few scraches etc (very small bla bla bla not really visible)


I have been practicing on a tin can to see how much paint to put on a toothpick etc..

But now im worried about the clearcoat...

I understand clearcoat dries hard (but in reality is a little soft)


For an average joe (in this case Mike) it is almost imossible to apply clearcoat extremely smooth.... Once it dries will rubbing compound remove those little bumps or w/e can go wrong?

Depending on the size of the patch, clearcoat may not be necessary. If you do apply clearcoat, it will level or smooth out. Once dry, that may be good enough.

The problem with working with rubbing compound is how do you not effect the surrounding area?
