I originally put this post up in the paint forum, but got no response..so I will try here.

I did the stupid "drop the wrench on the tank" thing on my '11 Ultra and I am left with a paint chip to fix. My color is light/dark candy root beer. I bought the touch up kit from HD and it comes with 3 bottles. The dark base, the light base, and the candy topcoat. The service guy said I should treat the candy top coat like a clear coat and use that to build up the paint thickness after applying the base coat.

Is this correct, or do I need to get some clear coat? I only want to do this once.

Thanks all

Jeff

 

if its like normal candy's, the more candy coats you put on the deeper/change of color the color gets - ie no longer matches.
