Calling all Paint Experts

[Roger Poirier]

Thanks guys,

I feel better now that a few of you have checked in. The painter did say less is better as far as total coats of paint. He states the heavier you lay it, from primer to paint the easier it is to chip. Todays paint does not need multiple coats because of the mil thickness.

So when everyone tells me that their car has 6 coats of paint and 8 coats of clear, long term bad news. Correct?

The painter also mentioned that with two applications of clear, it will add more depth to the paint and have less orange peel.
