I think this kind of thing might be classified as "channeling", but that's not applicable in this case.


It is my understanding as well that paint can only get so thick before it's prone to cracking.

It's not just cracking that excessive paint thickness can cause. Excessive film build can trap the solvents causing the paint to blister or pop as the solvents try to escape.

It's ok to apply many layers of Lacquer paint. Lacqure solvents flash "dry" very very fast. When i use Lacqure paints i like to do no more than 3 or 4 coats in one day. The next day you can wet sand the paint and apply 3 to 4 more coats, you can do this just about as many times as you like. Lacqure paints do not need a catalyst to cure, as soon as the solvents flash the paint is cured.

Has SRL been abducted by ValuGard aliens?
Is SRL even SRL anymore?
Is Ron K posting under SRL's sig, proving that SRL no longer exists?
Is SRL copying and pasting a response from Ron?

Jeez, I knew strange things were going on but this post proves it. I just don't know what *it* is. Yet.

LOL Bret!! Naw, it's still me. I'm just trying to bring a higher knowledge to the forum and give information when I can. That post is "technical" Showroom, but don't worry I will resort to being my normal bonehead self in short order.

There's a guy who has like 15 coats of clear on his motorcycle.

When he wants to get rid of his swirl mark he just smooths a layer off.

It would be great if it would be practical.

But something like double or triple the normal clear coat thickness would be good for people who detail their cars frequently, no doubt about it.
