Ok so i have all the paint and everything and I am aware of how to paint and sand and paint sand etc. but my question to all of you oh so wise out there is this. When I am completely done painting what top coat should I put on it? I am not sure what a clear coat is. I know that I can put lacquer on it, but I just want to make sure. Any help would be nice. thanks

Also another question can I get clear coat in a spray can? I only have that available to me right now. I am going to be getting a new bumper anyway but for right now this will work.

if it is a solid color i would do a single stage paint, it doesent need clear but it needs to be waxed more regurlaly, as for a clear coat...use the same brand as the basecoat, NO you cant get it in a can. Stick with a single stage if it's solid, any runs are easy to fix and you could always clear coat it down the road but it wont need it.
