2020 RTL in Asphalt Grey Metallic - does a Clear Coat go over the grey or Not?

[chipveres]

On my wife's 2020 RTL in Asphalt Grey Metallic, I cleverly spilled brake fluid on the paint without noticing. Now I have an area of about six square inches to repaint. My question is: Does a clear coat go over the grey paint? Or is it left as it comes out of the rattle can?

I know the BRP paint job sucks, But a rattle can?

Go check with a Body Shop 4 a $ quote first.

Your wife WILL Notice if the spot in question is in eye sight.

A long time ago I had to drill a new hole ( RT 2014 ) because I swapped out the OEM antennae for a Bosche car antennae. I patched the orig. hole going the Bondo route and re-painted myself .... color was white pearl ... From 5 feet away you can't tell where it was re-painted ..... If the damaged panel is easy to remove, try re-painting the entire panel..... Basically you have nothing to lose by trying this yourself. If it fails go the pro route ..... good luck ..... And Yes it will need a CLEAR-coat to finish it.....Mike :thumbup:

Yes. If you are using the rattle can duplicate paints, you need the base color and the clear coat over it.
