How long do you wait between coats of clear ...the guys here do a wet on wet coat and call it that I feel a second coat would be better ..I'm fixing to switch to paint never sprayed water before tho so checking out some videos to see how other painters spray this spies hecker paint

How are the color matches with spies? I wonder if they are any better than cromax pro. Cromax pro blows away akzo and envirobase in my experience. More production

[@everyday_painter]

Color matches are great. A lot of colors I can go right off of the chip. I agree. I switched from sikkens and this line is much better.

[@everyday_painter]

Yep. No die back or pinch. I love it. Even the air dry clear doesn’t die back. I sprayed my personal vehicle with Cromax 8700 and it looks amazing. It’s holding up great.

[@everyday_painter]

Yes. I use Cromax clears. 8700 & 8300. I also use spies 8094 air dry as well. I have been using the 8094 a lot lately since we moved shops. We don’t have gas hooked up at the moment so I have no heat. The air dry clear has really been saving me lately. 30 min dry no bake.

[@everyday_painter]

They’re about the same price. Cromax clears come in a gallon size. Spies come in 1 1/2. So not sure exactly but I think it equals out about the same. Energy select is a great clear. I use to spray they’re performance LV as well. Very nice stuff.

Great job! How long did you wait until your second coat of clear?

[@everyday_painter]

Thank you! Between 5-10 minutes. When I spray 8300 I wait 5. Spies 8094 I spray back to back.
