I just got my 94 cx hatch painted with a single stage paint (Magnesium Silver) and i want to protect the paint from fading/scratches etcc. I know single stage has no clear so does anyone know what to apply to protect the paint? maybe even immatate a clear coat? Thanks

UPDATE

Ok.. i now know the clear is incorporated with the paint in the single stage paint job. Is there a way to apply a product of some sort that will immate a clear coat (without actually spraying the car) Maybe a liquid that can be applied?

My baby haha

Pic is really small

 

Click it LOL.
Looks good.

 

I am not a pro, but from my experience I think the clear is incoporated in to the paint. So I believe as long as you just wax/polish it'll be fine.

Indeed, it's incorporated all into 1 stage

 

pretty good job you will be fine if its fresh wait a week to buff it and you b ok

 

very nice man

 

not too shabby

 

Like above, polishing it and waxing it will protect it from the sun. But thats about it for SS paint.

Just what he said.

 

how soon after geting a fresh paint job can you start waxing? my friend recently had to repaint his bumper and the shop said to not wax until after 6 weeks.

btw, looking good. hope it stays that way.

 

Yes 6 weeks or the grit in the wax will scratch the paint.

 

Just stick with waxin it. I usually tell people wait about 2 months to do any waxing just cuz most people are inpatient and do stuff when their not suppose to.
