Rick;
Doesn't the dry coat of Cast Blast (available at Pep Boys) brush off pretty quickly? I tried that on something else one time, and after some limited handling, the 'texture' was gone. M

Marlin, I have never had a problem with that. It's a fine line when it comes to timing and with a little practice it works great. I usually spray the dry coat on JUST as the original coat is flashing over therby giving the dry spray a 'base' to hold it but not enough for the dry spray to melt into the wet coat. I have never cleared them before but a flat clear would also cure that concern.

I've been doing the same thing for years with the cast blast as well. I seemed to think you got better results with the high heat version
over the regular stuff. I've had people ask me where I sent them to get the job done. It's a cheap way to do it, but if you want the perfect car and you can afford it, take Brian up on his offer. Peter

I agree Pete, sent my stuff to Brian who was putting a batch together to get sent out, came back beautiful. It also depends on the level of resto that you are doing on the car, time restrictions, $$'s, ect...
