That clear sprays on like tree sap.... you can tell it's heavy duty the second you spray it. Its real sticky, it doesnt run, it dries fast and it's like a protective shell. It's so thick that i sprayed it over my tank pad and sealed it in like lacquer.



    Hmm that's a good deal then. Can you spray it in the cold ? Ill be spraying it in a garage and its a little cold now.

    It's ideal for it to be warm and dry, mostly dry, id put out a space heater to warm the garage and do it mid day. The moisture in the air clouds it up. The room being cold isnt a deal breaker, you should be heating the cans up anyways. Let them sit in some hot water or blow em with a hair drier. The better the condition of the air is, the better your result will be. Obviously you're not looking for a mirror finish on your engine bay, but you can still try. I dont think temp will have much of an effect on the durability of the finish, but it will change how clear it is. I made the mistake of spraying some pieces in the early morning and they were cloudy because of the moisture, as it baked in the sun it cleared up, but the pieces i did mid day were crystal clear.
