How about some more details on what you're using? You never said exactly what you're using in your other thread. Paint (BC/CC or SS?), gun, etc...

clystal clear made by krylon. costs about 4 to 5 bucks a can. and everything was bought at walmart lol

one cool thing i figured out was, if you have the foggy effect goin on, heat that **** up with a hair dryer and it works great!!

It's probably foggy because it's not automotive clear, or the coats aren't wet enough...I only used Krylon clear once on a household project, and I won't use it again because it just didn't perform well. But hey, if that hair dryer thing is working for you, then go for it.

believe it or not, i sprayed it on really thick till it was all white, waited 15 min, then started heating it up with the drier and rubbing with a white terry cloth, came out so smooth and clear, that my girl got jellous when i told her my paint was smoother than her ***. and she just got a wax job too! lmao
